Japanese Truss Planter - Black

Even from this abandoned building with exposed steel structure, a plant will continue to grow. Somehow, the plant gives warmth to this cold, dark building…as if giving it a second chance to stand tall once again. With time, the pot will also give its own "flavour" along with the plant.

Individually hand-made by Nobuhiro Sato, a craft designer from Kyoto, Japan, who generates products with special attention to the material used and the stories they tell.

Using the same technique and materials used for building structures he uses mortar, a material typically used to fill gaps between blocks in construction, which is then poured into a wooden mould to obtain the distinct texture and design that resonates throughout Sato’s collection.

By incorporating natural colour and edges from the hardening of the mortar, each piece is unique and emits a sense of warmth when used in our daily lives.
