Paul Engelmann_ OBJECTS, FURNITURE, SPACES

The idea for a planter family came to me during a visit to a terracotta factory in Tuscany. After some discussion with the local craftsmen I felt like there was potential in rethinking some of the more tradtional designs. The family takes inspiration from classical terracotta manufacturing while giving each pot a more architectual and modern look. The double wall design hides part of the saucer in its body and avoids stains, typically visible on terracotta pots. Additionally, it incorporates integrated handles for the large and medium-sized pots, making them easier to move. The pots can be slip cast in two stages with an additional cast reinforcing the brim.
