Grotto Planter

Carved rippling waves

From $29.00

Like a piece of shoreline carved into a pot, the Grotto planter wraps every inch of its rounded form in soft, flowing ripple waves that give the surface a raw, tactile quality. Each row of organic undulations reads differently in different light, making it feel like natural stone or sculpted coral rather than a printed object.

"Hides" means a standard nursery pot drops fully inside with its rim tucked at the opening. One size up still works: it just rides a little higher, which makes lifting it out for watering day even easier.
