Heath Ceramics
Form 16
Best sculptural planter for design-conscious indoor gardeners.
The Form 16 planter by Heath Ceramics, designed by Tung Chiang, is a striking ceramic piece that celebrates plant life by embodying a blossom's form. Its unique nesting vessel design creates a trumpet flower silhouette, with an inner element gracefully extending beyond the outer edge. Handcrafted in San Francisco, this planter's form is intentionally designed without a flowering element, allowing the plant's natural foliage to organically complete the overall aesthetic. This harmonious blend of nature and design adds an organic fullness and visual interest to any indoor space.
