Strata
A floor planter built like sediment — layer on layer on layer.
$175
Strata stacks eleven terraced steps into a floor vessel wide enough to anchor a corner. Each layer holds its own shadow line, so the surface reads as exposed sediment — cool stone you want to run a thumb down. The stepped walls thicken toward the base for a low center of mass that won't tip under a top-heavy canopy, and a recessed drainage well with a slip-in saucer keeps roots breathing and your floor dry.
- Dimensions
- H 16.5" × Ø 13" (root well Ø 11"). Recessed central drainage hole with a slip-in catch saucer included; bottom bands thickened for ballast.
- Plant pairing
- Built for a fiddle-leaf fig — the deep root well and weighted base steady a tall, leaning canopy. Also holds a bird-of-paradise or a mature rubber tree.
- Materials
- Recycled PETG, Matte PLA, Wood-Fill PLA
Strata started as a question about time: what would a planter look like if you could see it accrue? We modeled the body as deposited bands, each ring offset from the last the way silt settles in a cut bank. The result wears its layer lines on purpose — geology, not artifact.
