Demeter Plants

Vessel: Vintage boat-shaped (navette-form) concrete planter with aged patina and natural mineral surface
Dimensions: Total planted height: 1300 mm | Pot: 210 mm (H) × 600 mm (L) × 240 mm (W)
Finish: Exposed root form, gravel top dressing, paired with Deuterocohnia brevifolia mound
Description: A sculptural Brachychiton rupestris planted to reveal its distinctive root structure. The tree is paired with a Deuterocohnia brevifolia mound — a dense, textural form that contrasts with the Bottle Tree’s vertical line. The vintage navette-form concrete vessel presents a tapering, boat-like silhouette with a weathered patina, highlighting balance and asymmetry within a restrained composition.
Care: Bright light. Water when soil is partially dry. Suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor placement.
Provenance: Vessel sourced through circular design channels, chosen for authenticity and age. Surface wear and imperfections are inherent to its history. Both plants are grown by regional NSW nurseries. We work directly with family-owned growers to support local horticulture.
Notes: Each piece is unique. Variations in patina, texture, and plant form are expected and intentional.

Vessel: Vintage copper planter with worn tin lining, revealing a natural silvery patina; set on a black steel stand
Dimensions: Total planted height: 2400 mm | Pot (including stand): 510 mm (H) × 500 mm (D)
Finish: Exposed root base, fine gravel top dressing with river stone accent
Description: Three Brachychiton rupestris form a slender forest rising from a vintage copper vessel whose inner tin lining has worn through, creating a silvery surface with traces of copper beneath. The composition balances warmth and coolness — organic roots meeting aged metal — and the smooth river stone adds quiet grounding.
Care: Bright light. Water when soil is partially dry. Suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor placement.
Provenance: The vessel is a repurposed copper pot with exposed tin lining, sourced through circular design channels for its history and patina. Bottle Trees are grown by a regional NSW nursery north of Sydney; we work directly with family-owned growers.
Notes: Each piece is unique. Variations in form, patina, and tone are expected and intentional.

Vessel: Aged concrete planter with fluted form and weathered white surface
Dimensions: Total planted height: 2200 mm | Pot: 400 mm (H) × 410 mm (D)
Finish: Exposed root base in coarse soil surface
Description: A single Ficus altissima rises from an aged white concrete planter. The vessel’s fluted shape and weathered patina provide a quiet contrast to the plant’s strong form and glossy green foliage. Exposed surface roots emphasise its sculptural qualities and connection to the vessel.
Care: Bright, indirect light. Water when the top of the soil begins to dry. Suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor placement.
Provenance: The planter is vintage concrete, selected for its authentic patina and texture. The Ficus altissima is grown by a regional NSW nursery north of Sydney, supporting local, family-run horticulture.
Notes: Each piece is unique. Variations in surface tone, foliage, and texture are inherent and part of its natural character.
