What Are Our Oblate Planters?
The name says it all: Oblate takes its name from its distinctive squashed sphere shape – much like our own planet Earth, which bulges slightly at the equator. And just as our planet is formed from natural rock and stone, our Oblate Planters are crafted from authentic slate, creating a beautiful connection between their shape and texture.
They aren’t your ordinary decorative pieces – they’re flattened just enough to sit perfectly on surfaces or mount beautifully on walls, creating that designer look, without the price tag.
Endless Placement Possibilities
One of the best things about our Oblate Planters in their incredible versatility when it comes to placement. Whether you’re styling your living area or sprucing up your garden, these slate beauties adapt to any environment. That’s right – they work brilliantly both indoors and outdoors.
Wall Art With a Twist – Mount them on interior or exterior walls to create striking three-dimensional art. Arrange multiple Oblates in a cluster for a dramatic gallery wall indoors or create an eye-catching feature on a garden wall or fence.
Table Centrepieces – Whether it’s your dining table, coffee table, console, or even an outdoor patio table, Oblates make sophisticated centrepieces.
Floor Sculptures – Place larger Oblates on the floor beside a fireplace, in a corner or a long a hallway indoors. Outside, position them on patios, beside garden paths, or nestled amongst plantings.
Style Them Your Way
Here’s where Oblates truly shine – they’re like a blank canvas for your creativity. The possibilities for styling are virtually endless:
Seasonal Pumpkin Display – Now that autumn is here, pop miniature pumpkins or gourds into your Oblate for a simple, seasonal touch. It’s an easy way to bring cosy vibes into your space.
Succulent Showcase –Transform your Oblates into a stylish indoor garden with low-maintenance succulents. Their sleek, modern design beautifully highlights the unique shapes and textures of these resilient plants.
Elevated Fresh Flowers – Use them as unconventional vases for garden flowers. The wide opening makes arranging blooms a bleeze, and the sculptural form elevates even the simplest bouquets.
An Investment That Keeps on Giving
In a world of fast home decor trends, Oblates are a refreshing investment. Their slate construction means they’re built to last – weatherproof and durable enough to grace your garden year-round, yet elegant enough for your most sophisticated interior spaces.
Their multiple uses mean you’ll never tire of them – simply switch up what’s inside based on the season, your mood, or the occasion. One month they’re holding your summer wildflowers on the patio, the next they’re showcasing autumnal delights indoors*, and come winter, they’re creating atmospheric candlelight by the fireplace.
This versatility means Oblates will remain relevant in your home for years to come, adapting to your changing style and needs. Whether you’re redecorating, relocating, or simply refreshing a corner of your home, they’ll always find their place.
And with the festive season approaching, our Oblate Planters also make thoughtful, lasting Christmas gifts. Their understated beauty and endless functionality mean they’re bound to suit someone on your list – from design lovers to gardeners to those who simply appreciate something a little different.
They’re not just decorative objects, they’re long-term statement pieces that transition seamlessly between indoors and out – a gift to yourself or someone else that truly keeps on giving.
*Once the planter has been drilled for drainage to allow for outdoor plant use, it can no longer be used indoors to hold soil or plants due to leakage. However, it can still be brought indoors for non-plant decorative uses, such as housing a candle (on a flat, stable surface) or mounted as a unique wall feature.
