ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

A desk planter wrapped in soft, organic vertical flutes that flow around the body like gentle ripples — calm, tactile, and quietly modern. The hidden twist-lock drip tray tucks completely underneath, so the planter looks like it's floating on your desk.

No saucer sticking out. No water on your desk. Just twist and lock.

✦ Design details

  • Soft organic flutes flowing the full height — a gentle, hand-feel texture that catches the light
  • Hidden twist-lock drip tray — tucks under the planter, invisible from above
  • Floating look — the tray is narrower than the planter, so the flutes overhang it and it disappears into shadow
  • Drainage holes in the base drain straight into the tray's hidden basin
  • Twist off to empty, twist back on — no drips, no mess, no saucer sliding around
  • Flat, stable footprint — no tipping
  • Part of the Soft Organic collection — mix and match for a calm, cohesive display

✦ Dimensions

  • Planter: Ø138mm (flute peaks) × 125mm tall
  • Internal pot cavity: Ø96mm
  • Drip tray: Ø120mm × 13mm — hidden under the planter
  • Planter sits ~9mm off the desk on the tray
  • Hidden basin catches ~30ml of overflow water
  • Wall thickness: ~2.5mm at thinnest
  • Weight: approx 200g (planter + tray)

  • Each piece printed individually for maximum quality
  • Indoor use recommended
  • Not food safe — decorative use only
