relax! planter by stefan stauffacher

just as soon as that snow melts, i am going to go outside and emulate this awesome planter by the witty swiss designer stefan stauffacher for eternit (and their us distributor greenform). it’s made of a combination of cement, limestone, fiber and water (called fiber cement), which is a durable, 100% recycled material.

contact greenform for pricing and availability.

pull + push mansion planter

if the landlord won’t give you access to plant a green roof, you could still achieve it in miniature with this wee (about 4″ x 5″ x 5″) mansion planter from japan’s nobuhiro sato for his pull + push company. it’s solidly made of mortar, glass and brass. nobuhiro seeks to incorporate architectural details into his home accessory products, so i urge you to find joy in the architectural details like the chunky stairs and the window railings!

you know you’d probably get a lot of great light in the place if those windows face south…

p.s. i like his ashtray (not that i’m advocating) and incense burner too!

find them all at mollaspace.

i grobot mini planter

modern chia pet alert: this little i grobot planter is only a wee 4″ tall and 2.5″ wide, but it packs every inch of itself with fun, in the form of grass seeds that you can water, grow, and cut. the packaging has cute drawings too.

i might keep this as a spare button dish if i wasn’t growing grass in there (that does not sound right).

available at perpetual kid
