Imagine a planter designed to look so fluid, that it seems to twirl and flow with the plant it houses. Like graceful ballerinas, the planters sold by Dutch designer Tim van de Weerd manage to become the focal point of any room, but without taking away from their surrounding.
Tim says that every accessory or piece of furniture must stir the imagination and play with expectations; that the imagery should always be surprising yet recognizable.
He’s a big believer in design that is simple and elegant, but at the same time characterized by subtle tension. And that design philosophy really comes to light in his Monstera planter collection.
Tim’s designs are anything but rigid traditional plant pots. The Monstera planters collection aims to liberate the plants from windowsills, and make them integral parts of the rooms they inhabit.
The delicate legs of the planter are meant to resemble delicate roots – they stem from the bottom of the planter, almost as a continuation of the plant itself. As fragile as they may seem, the legs are made of steel bars bent by hand and moulded with industrial clay.
The monstera planter set comes in three different sizes: Monstera Magnifica (the tallest one), Monstera Fugiens (which shows the plant as fleeing object) and Monstera Crescens (at 120 cm, it stands out above all tables and sofas).
