About the Item

This pair of Danish modernist planters from the 1960s exemplifies the refined minimalism and architectural clarity that defined Scandinavian design of the era. Each planter consists of a crisply constructed cross-shaped steel base, finished in matte black paint, upon which rests a removable copper container. The copper surfaces have developed a rich, natural patina over time, lending warmth and depth to the otherwise austere geometry of the design. The juxtaposition of cool, industrial steel and glowing, time-worn copper embodies the modernist fascination with honest materials and their inherent character. The design’s modularity—separating base and container—further reflects a functionalist approach, balancing practicality with sculptural presence. Echoing the language of Poul Kjærholm, these planters convey a sense of quiet monumentality despite their restrained form. They stand as elegant examples of Danish modernism’s ability to merge craftsmanship, material poetry, and architectural precision into everyday objects.
