Now that summer is pretty much here, it's time to focus not only on your garden, but also on other ways to introduce refreshing plant life into your home space. The PL Series is a collection of planters that are especially stunning because of their sculptural presence. More art pieces than anything else, they will surely tear away your attention from the plants they hold.
Designed by Collaboration, which is comprised of Vancouver, Canada-based sculptor Marie Khouri and landscape designer Dave Demers, the PL Series offers rather modern takes on the traditional planter. The pieces' undulating surfaces provide an interesting focal point, creating an intriguing contrast with their green buddy. Nonetheless, the PL series is still very much organically formed.
