Ocean Planter by D.A.R Projects

The unique texture of the calcareous porous rock and the craftsmanship of stone carvers from the north coast inspire the eco-design winner of the German Design 2016 and the jurors choice at the Design Toronto festival 2017. 

The natural calcite rock washes across the ocean floor to the communities of Northern Peru. Transformed by hand into a beautiful object, the functional elements are equally as captivating. The pores of the reef, arranged vertically, act as a natural drainage system to maintain only the necessary humidity around the plant. An ideal planter for contemporary interior decoration with its speckled ceramic base.
