Object
Tapered planter
A thrown-profile pot with a rolled rim and a single drainage hole. It lives outside all year, so what decides it is frost and standing water rather than its shape.

RANGE
Three objects, and what each one has to survive.
The range covers tapered planters, trough planters and stacking crates. Each object page carries the decision that keeps it outdoors for years and the questions worth settling before an order is placed.
Object
Trough planter
A rectangular trough on feet, for hedging and herbs. The feet are the whole design: without them the base sits in water and the wall fails first.

Object
Storage crate
A stacking crate with handle cut-outs, for tools and pots. Stacking is the specification: the lip has to carry a loaded crate above it.
Open the object →How the range is organised.
By what the weather does to it rather than by what it holds. A planter is decided by drainage, a trough by its feet, a crate by its coating.
- Fired clay
- Decided by frost and by whether the wall can dry out
- Cast stone
- Decided by weight and by sealing, because it holds water
- Coated steel
- Decided by the coating, because the steel underneath will not survive
- Timber
- Decided by the species and by whether it stands in water
