Design Notes: The Round Two Planter

Richard Lindh, a Finnish-American designer known for his simple yet striking mid-century ceramics, had an eye for balance and proportion. His planters—often minimal, perfectly scaled, and deeply functional—set the standard for modern plant design in the 1960s. We love the clarity of his work, the way it allowed plants to take center stage while offering a sophisticated silhouette that fit seamlessly into any space.

Effortless Drainage & Engineered Airflow: A centered drainage hole allows excess water to escape, preventing root rot. Unlike traditional flat-bottomed planters, the Round Two features notches along the base that create small airflow channels within the saucer. These channels help prevent stagnant water buildup, keeping roots oxygenated and healthy.

Perfect Proportions: Unlike many planters, which are too shallow or oversized, each Round Two size is calibrated to fit standard nursery pots—making plant transfers seamless. Available in 4", 6", 8", and 10" diameters.

A Matte Hand-Glazed Finish: Each piece is hand-finished, creating subtle variations in glaze depth and texture that make every planter unique.

The Round Two stands out in our catalog not just for its form, but also for its range of finishes—the widest in our entire lineup. Inspired by the organic tones of mid-century interiors, this planter is available in nine glaze options. No matter your style—minimalist, vintage-inspired, or richly layered—there’s a Round Two to complement it.

The Round Two Planter is more than a vessel for your plants; it’s a nod to classic American design, updated for modern living. Thoughtfully crafted to support plant health, its effortless drainage and timeless form make it as functional as it is beautiful. Whether placed on a bookshelf, dining table, or entryway console, it effortlessly blends nostalgia with innovation—proving that good design never goes out of style.
