About
Forms and surfaces, the premier California architectural design company, is best known for the bronzed "sunburst" entry doors of the 1970s. This planter was a complimentary design that worked in concert with the doors. The finish is a verdigris bronze fiberglass, with thick walls to form a solid planter box. The planter sits on two bronzed fiberglass pedestals, which were a custom option. The planter can be elevated on the legs, or placed on the ground, as shown. The pedestals could actually be used with a glass top as a complimentary coffee table, if desired. The planter box is 22 inches tall without the legs. The three elements are in Fine original condition, and show very well.
