Art Meets Function in Angus & Celeste

Ceramics is an ancient human activity. The earliest potters used clay and other natural materials to produce practical items for cooking, eating, and storage – but being human, they couldn’t help but infuse a little creativity and beauty into these objects too. Thousands of years have passed, but this drive to mix art with utility lives on in the extraordinary ceramic planters created by the artists at Angus & Celeste. We’re excited to welcome Angus & Celeste’s beautiful yet functional designs to our Greenhouse collection – and when you see them for yourself, we think you’ll love them too.

Art, Nature + Modern Technology

For most plants, the pot serves a very utilitarian function. But the folks at Angus & Celeste see a lot more potential in your everyday plant container. Where many see simple usefulness, Angus & Celeste sees a canvas for artistic expression – for creating pieces that contribute to the personality and style of the spaces they occupy. Based in Australia, the team at Angus & Celeste draws on the endless natural inspirations in color and form that surround them. With their art-school training and a healthy appreciation for both traditional and modern craft technologies, the result is a well-crafted collection of ‘modern collectibles’ acting as plant containers too.

Raw Earth Plant Stand Pot

In this unique container, Angus & Celeste has rethought the whole pot-saucer-stand model and combined all three functions into one beautiful planter. Created from high-fired porcelain, this original three-part container supports the plant, lifts it up, and catches excess water out of sight in a basin hidden underneath. It’s the perfect blend of contemporary form and plant care function. Our collection of these amazing pots features stone colors white, gray, slate, and rock salt.

Folia Relief Plant Pot

The raised design on this planter is an Angus & Celeste original pattern and depicts a community of monstera, fern, and dischidia foliage twining together around the pot. At our store, find your favorite stylish color in white, soft pink, or coral. And true to Angus & Celeste’s useful and beautiful approach to their creations, this pot is designed to be self-watering – with a generous glazed tray underneath to hold an extra supply of water.

More from the Angus & Celeste Collection

In addition to these two amazing planters, we have two more from Angus & Celeste to love. The petite Collectors Gro Pots are designed for your smaller-footed plant friends – succulents, cacti, orchids, and the like. In fact, a four- or five-inch nursery grow pot will drop right inside without having to re-pot the plant – unless you want to of course. We offer this style in white, gray, and ochre – perfect for any shelf, windowsill, or desk space.

And finally, Angus & Celeste’s self-watering plant pot looks great in your home while keeping your plant well-hydrated at the same time. This glazed stoneware planter comes in two sizes to hold a variety of your favorite plants. And it has a sleek, modern design that shows off the circular lines created on the potter’s wheel. At the store, choose from classic white or black.
