Funnel Planter
Funnel Planters were hand-thrown on a potter’s wheel and made in limited quantities. Designed with a carefully considered form and a surface rich with texture, each planter was its own unique object.
Much like the Undercut Planter, Funnel was originally conceived in terracotta and as a reworking of the ubiquitous terracotta pots and pipes typically found in our gardens. It was available in small, medium and large sizes with two format options - low or tall. Rather than being made to an exact dimension, the planters were thrown by hand using a specific weight of clay for each size. The sizing was judged by eye rather than specific measurements, which produced subtle size shifts within the size brackets making each planter truly unique.
Drip trays to suit the range were also developed; a flat saucer-like tray was designed to complement the clean, structural lines of the planter form with an angled edge to allow the planter and drip tray to be easily lifted. Each glaze finish was the result of countless hours of testing and refinement and had been designed to complement both the clean geometric forms of the planters, and the plants that would ultimately nest within them.
