PONTI TAKEN

Innovative pots are wowing designers for a host of reasons. The best designer is mother nature, and with a vast array of plants that offer sculptural beauty, fragrance or coloured blooms, showcasing them in a designer pot can make a dramatic difference in your outdoor entertaining space. Anthony Spon-Smith from Coco Republic says plants are natural, subconsciously soothing and perfectly imperfect. As such, any way we can frame them as heroes, inside or out, is very important. The right planter, pot or urn can do just that. Anthony’s advice is to pick a planter that juxtaposes with the plant. Prickly or complicated shapes for plants are often complemented by simple pots and vice versa. He likes texture and simple shapes when it comes to pots and planters, and his favourite from the collection is the Ponti. The simple silhouette lifts an entire space. cocorepublic.com.au
