Transform your space with this beautiful modern sculpture planter, a stunning blend of art and nature. The Oblate features a sleek disc of natural slate with a recessed centre, perfectly designed to showcase small-root plants, succulents, or dried florals. Versatile by design, it can lie flat as a tabletop feature or be wall-mounted to create a striking piece of living art. Whether indoors or outdoors, its minimalist aesthetic and tactile texture bring contemporary elegance to any setting.
When planted with succulents, the Oblate becomes a true conversation piece — ideal for garden walls, patios, or interior displays. Mix and match with other planters from the range to create a bold focal point, or let it stand alone as a statement piece.
Each individual planter will display its own natural finish with hues of greys, copper and silver and are pre-drilled for external use to ensure that your plants are never over watered.
All of our planters are easy to clean and maintain and are frost and weather resistant.

Slate is a metamorphic rock with a fine grain, it has the unique ability to be split accurately into straight slabs and plates.
The split sheets each display unique texture and colouration, though always with a predominantly grey base.
Slate varies in colour depending on where it is mined as the individual composition of the rock varies between localities.
Slate is particularly suitable for use as a planter as it has an extremely low water absorption index, meaning that it is resistant to frost damage.
It is incredibly durable and will last for hundreds of years, a Foras slate planter is a planter for life.
Please Note: Slate is a product of nature and as such, there will be variations in colour, texture and patina. These features are part of the natural beauty of stone, and ensure that each piece is completely unique.
