Behind The Design: Nouvelle Ceramics

Where classic meets modern you’ll find the newest member in our family of premium ceramic planters: the Nouvelle.

Light, playful, and feminine, the Nouvelle ceramic is a fresh update on the classic bell planter shape first popularized in the 1960s. When we explored the idea of a bell-shaped planter, we looked to that decade, of course, for inspiration.

What came to mind was both vintage and modern, playful but chic, and something of the je ne sais quoi style of 1960s Paris, a city where much of our roots lie.

But the initial sketches of Nouvelle began to tell a different story: her delicate rounded curves transported us outside the grids, chaos, and confines of urban life, and into the peaceful surroundings of southern France during that same time…

From impromptu road trips to Saint-Tropez to sun-soaked weekend retreats in the countryside, Nouvelle was born out of the relaxed aesthetic of 1960s Mediterranean life.
