Pots & Planters

Planters as architectural elements in the interior

Planters do more than hold soil and greenery; they actively shape how an interior is experienced and organized. By elevating botanical elements off flat surfaces or framing them within clean geometric outlines, planters bridge the gap between natural forms and the built environment. They act as spatial anchors that bring life to quiet corners, balance heavy furniture pieces, and soften structured architectural settings. Incorporating greenery through thoughtfully designed planters supports a biophilic approach to living — bringing the restorative qualities of nature into the heart of the home. Positioned on a windowsill, arranged along a sideboard, or placed freestanding on the floor, planters introduce rhythm, movement, and tactile variety. The contrast between structured steel frames or woven surfaces and lush, cascading foliage creates a striking dialogue, making nature an intentional component of the room's overarching expression.

At Audo, planters are chosen to complement both the plants they contain and the space they inhabit, ensuring a harmonious balance between function and aesthetics.

Sculptural planters in stoneware, rattan, and steel

Material selection defines the character of a planter and dictates its visual weight within a room. Our collection explores a diverse palette of tactile materials — combining matte stoneware, natural handwoven rattan, and powder-coated steel to create vessels that stand as beautiful objects in their own right. 

The Plantas Planter brings an organic, earthy expression to indoor greenery. Crafted from matte ivory stoneware, its textured, furrowed surface and spontaneous curves give each hand-finished piece an authentic, sculptural quality. Its raw material presence creates a soft, tactile contrast against vibrant leaves and delicate stems.

The Umanoff Planter, an archival mid-century design by Arthur Umanoff, introduces warm history and architectural lift to modern spaces. Combining handwoven rattan with slim steel legs, it presents a compelling dialogue between artisanal craft and industrial restraint. By raising plants closer to eye level, its natural texture gently softens minimalist interiors.

Taking inspiration from ancient amphoras, the Daiza Planter is shaped from stoneware and completed with a rich reactive glaze, offering a monumental yet elegant presence. For practical everyday care, the Hydrous Planter integrates a clever self-watering feature into a glazed stoneware form, blending effortless maintenance with quiet beauty. 

The collection is rounded out by the Kubus Flowerpot, continuing the geometric legacy of Mogens Lassen. Defined by a sharp, square steel frame enclosing a rounded vessel, it creates a precise interplay between straight lines and soft curves. 

Creating depth and rhythm with indoor greenery

Styling with indoor greenery is an exercise in composition, scale, and spatial awareness. Utilizing planters of varying heights, shapes, and materials allows for the creation of rich, multi-layered botanical landscapes within the home.

Clustering elevated planters like the Umanoff Planter alongside lower stoneware vessels like the Plantas or Daiza creates dynamic visual interest, drawing the eye across different vertical planes. Placing a tall, freestanding planter in an underutilized corner transforms an empty space into a quiet focal point, while smaller planters placed on shelving units or desks establish subtle, organic accents throughout the room.

Through thoughtful grouping and variation in form, planters allow greenery to feel curated rather than casual — bringing spatial depth, natural rhythm, and architectural purpose to daily living areas.

Choosing the right planter for your space

Selecting the right planter requires balancing proportion, material, and the spatial conditions of your home to ensure a lasting and visually pleasing result. When choosing planters, consider the following:

• Scale and proportion: Match the scale of the planter to both the plant and the volume of the room. Large, floor-standing planters anchor generous living areas, while compact vessels suit shelves, sideboards, and side tables without overcrowding the surface.

• Elevation and height: Utilize elevated planters or stand structures, such as the Umanoff Planter, to lift greenery into view. Varying the height of your plants prevents flat arrangements and enhances the sense of vertical space.

• Material contrast: Choose materials that complement or intentionally contrast with your existing interior decor. Powder-coated steel introduces a clean, graphic edge, while woven rattan or matte stoneware adds warm, organic depth to minimal settings.

• Plant health and practical care: Consider the functional needs of your plants. Self-watering designs like the Hydrous Planter simplify daily care, while traditional stoneware pots support easy plant rotation when paired with inner nursery liners.

The right planter frames the unscripted beauty of nature with architectural clarity, offering a foundation of quiet elegance and organic warmth.
