Band Of Outsiders

Whether ceramic planters are good for outside depends on their design. While ceramic is a weather-resistant material, some paints and glazes may not be able to withstand the effects of sunlight, moisture and extreme temperatures. As a result, you should only place ceramic planters intended for outdoor use outside your home. On 1stDibs, find a range of outdoor ceramic planters.

Whether a Saarinen table can go outside depends on the piece. Through his work as an architect and designer, Eero Saarinen was a prime mover in the introduction of modernism into the American mainstream. Legendary furnishings designed by Saarinen like his durable side tables, the Womb chair, the Tulip chair and the Pedestal table are still frequently used in interiors today — and often copied at more affordable prices. At Cranbrook Academy of Art, Saarinen met Florence Schust Knoll, who, as director of her husband Hans Knoll's eponymous furniture company, would put Saarinen’s best designs into production. While Knoll offers outdoor versions of authentic Eero Saarinen tables with Vetro Bianco and Natural Black Slate tops, if a table wasn’t designed specifically for outdoor use, it’s best to only display it indoors. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage Eero Saarinen tables.
