The Atelier Vierkant AUO planter is a handcrafted ceramic vessel made from Italian clay, hand-shaped in Belgium and fired at around 1200 °C. Three sizes range from Ø 72 cm with a height of 80 cm to Ø 120 cm with a height of 130 cm; the capacity increases from 180 to 958 litres.

Even the medium size can accommodate a shrub with a substantial root ball, while the largest can hold a small tree. On terraces, in courtyards and at entrances, the range thus creates a tiered planting scheme using a single design. The ceramic has a distinctly handcrafted finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Atelier Vierkant AUO planter made of?
The Atelier Vierkant AUO planter is made of Italian clay, which is hand-shaped and textured in Belgium and fired at around 1200 °C.

What sizes are available for the AUO?
The Atelier Vierkant AUO planter is available as the AUO80 with Ø 72 cm and 80 cm height (180 l), AUO100 with Ø 90 cm and 100 cm height (380 l), and AUO130 with Ø 120 cm and 130 cm height (958 l).

Can the AUO stay outside in winter?
The Atelier Vierkant AUO planter is frost-resistant. One or two drainage holes in the base and the included rubber feet ensure that water drains freely and that no ice forms around the root ball. If the planter is placed on a saucer, make sure that no water collects in it before winter: if it freezes, the planter resting on it can become frozen in the ice and may be damaged when removed. Therefore, empty the saucer before the first frost.

How is the AUO cleaned?
The Atelier Vierkant AUO planter can be cleaned with a pressure washer without scrubbing the body directly.
