What Are Our Oblate Sculptures?
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 Sculptures 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. Their smooth, even colour gives a sleek, modern feel, while being robust enough to withstand the elements for long-lasting appeal.

Designed for Easy Installation
Our Oblate Sculptures come with everything you need to get started. Wall fixings are available on request at the point of purchase, making it easy to mount them securely on any interior or exterior wall.

You can choose how you’d like your Oblate prepared:

• With drainage hole – Ideal for outdoor planting, allowing excess water to drain away and keeping your plants healthy.
• With wall-mounting hole – Pre-drilled to suit optional wall fixings, making installation quick and effortless.
• Undrilled – Perfect as a tabletop or centrepiece planter.

This means whether you’re creating a living wall feature or a sculptural display, your Oblate arrives ready to use.

Endless Placement Possibilities
One of the best things about our Oblate Sculptures is their incredible versatility. Whether you’re styling your living space or refreshing your garden, these sleek slate planters adapt effortlessly to any environment. Designed to look just as good indoors as they do outdoors, they bring a touch of contemporary elegance wherever they’re placed.

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 Displays Throughout the Year

Autumn Warmth – Now that autumn is here, pop miniature pumpkins into your Oblate for a simple, seasonal touch. It’s an easy way to bring colour, interest, and texture into your space.

Christmas Magic – Fill them with festive baubles in coordinating colours for an elegant festive display. Group several together with different bauble arrangements for a stunning seasonal centrepiece.

Spring & Summer Freshness – Create beautiful arrangements with fresh flowers from your garden, perfect for dinner parties and special occasions.

Year-Round Elegance – Dried flowers and grasses offer a low-maintenance option that looks sophisticated in any season. They bring texture and natural beauty without any upkeep.

Plants Displays

Drought-Resistant Beauties – Fill your Oblates with hardy plants like aloe vera and other succulents that thrive with minimal care. Their sleek, modern design beautifully highlights the unique shapes and textures of these resilient plants. Simply use a spray gun mist to water them gently – perfect for busy lifestyles.

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 displaying festive baubles or 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.

Important Note About Drainage
Once a 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 dried flowers, baubles or mounted as a unique wall feature.

The Bottom Line (or Curve!)
Our Oblate Planters prove that the best design pieces are those that work with you, not against you. Whether you’re a minimalist who appreciates their clean lines, a maximalist who loves styling them to the nines, or somewhere in between, these oblate beauties have a place in your home.
