Alfresco Ambiance Planter Sml

The Alfresco Ambiance Planter in the small size is 28cm on every side, in black. It is designed to carry an interior style out onto a balcony or into a garden. Care is a wipe with a soft damp cloth.

Matching planters across an indoor and outdoor boundary is the simplest way to make a balcony read as part of a room rather than as a separate territory. Repeating one vessel form on both sides of a door does more for that continuity than matching furniture ever does, and it costs a fraction as much.

A cube proportion is unusually architectural for a planter and it works with hard landscaping. Against decking boards, pavers or a rendered wall, a square-sided pot picks up the geometry already there, where a rounded one sits apart from it.

Black outdoors recedes at dusk and holds its colour in sun, which makes it the low-maintenance choice. Pale outdoor pots green over in shade and show every water mark; a dark one simply looks like itself for longer.
