Alto Planter Trio S

The Alto Planter comes in three nesting sizes, from 28cm square by 23cm high to 54cm square by 44cm high, in white fibrestone with a textured matte finish. The graduated sizes are designed to group. All three arrive fully assembled.

Nesting sizes are worth understanding literally: the small sits inside the medium and the medium inside the large for storage and shipping, which is why the proportions step so evenly. That also makes them unusually easy to store out of season.

Fibrestone is fibreglass-reinforced stone composite, and it is the material that lets a 54cm planter be lifted by one person. Outdoors it also resists the frost cracking that a solid stone or terracotta vessel of that size eventually suffers.

Grouped, the three read best staggered rather than in a line. Set at different distances from a wall the graduated heights produce depth; lined up they look like a display of stock.
