Chunky, heavy and sharp, the Boulders Collection looks just like the rocks it was named after. A rustic and even organic alternative to typical terracotta planters, the Boulders Collection offers a strong, sturdy and good-looking base for greenery. In fact, although it is bold, its dark coloring makes the colors of the plants it holds more vibrant.
The Boulders Collection was created by Filipino designer Jinggoy Buensuceso for Hive, a company based in Cebu, Philippines. Each planter is made out of metal that has been naturally oxidized, which gives the surface a raw and gritty look. The contemporary form contrasts nicely with the overall antique look. While the planters in the Boulders Collection are available in a rusty color, the bowls come in white, black and blue.
