The Domani Moya is a round terracotta planter from the Moya collection, designed by Dutch designer Piet Boon. Each piece is handcrafted in Domani's workshop in Pécs, Hungary.

Moya is a rounded vessel with a clear band: the upper part features a vertical, fibrous texture reminiscent of thatch, while the lower part is smooth and defines the shape. The surfaces are finished by hand. Domani uses a kaolin-based terracotta that is fired so densely that, according to the manufacturer, it absorbs only 3 to 4% water – making the planter frost-resistant. How clay behaves outdoors is explained in our material overview.

According to the manufacturer, Moya is designed for both indoor and outdoor use – on terraces, balconies, and roof gardens, as well as in living spaces, hotels, and commercial areas. The wide opening leaves plenty of room for planting; the largest model measures Ø 80 × H 71 cm.

Moya is available in three sizes and six colors – white (natural white), sand (natural sand), grey (natural grey), green (natural swamp), black (natural black), and red (natural red). All models have a drainage hole. Our page on Domani showcases more vessels from the brand, while the rest of the manufacturer's range is shown in our selection of planters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Domani Moya frost-resistant?

Yes. According to the manufacturer, Domani's densely fired terracotta absorbs only 3 to 4% water; the Domani Moya is therefore frost-resistant and can remain outdoors year-round. It is important that water does not collect in the vessel during winter; in severe frost, Domani recommends wrapping the vessel and plant in a fleece blanket.

Can the Domani Moya also be placed indoors?

Yes, the Domani Moya is also suitable for indoor use. Terracotta is porous and not waterproof; Domani therefore recommends lining the inside of the vessel with pond liner or a watertight insert and placing the plant in a hydroponic setup with a water level indicator.

Who designed the Domani Moya?

The Domani Moya was designed by Dutch designer Piet Boon. Its defining feature is the band between the fibrous, thatch-like texture at the top and the smooth base below.

Stability and protection

Domani planters stand on discreet spacers that lift the base slightly, which keeps the drainage hole clear and ensures air circulation.

Tips for planting outdoors

Make sure the planter sits level on its spacers and the drainage opening is clear.
Add a drainage layer of pottery shards, gravel or Hydrograins amounting to between a third and a half of the height of the planter, and then cover it with a root fleece.
Fill with a free-draining potting compost and set the plant so that the root ball sits about two finger-widths below the rim of the planter.
If desired, finish with a thin layer of bark mulch to retain surface moisture.
Water the plant thoroughly until excess water runs out through the drainage opening at the bottom of the planter. In summer, check the soil moisture more often.

Indoors

Terracotta is porous; Domani's silicone treatment slows water absorption but does not make the planter waterproof
Line the planter with pond liner or a watertight insert; set the plant in hydroculture with a water-level indicator (manufacturer's recommendation)
