I AM Sky
This planter is who you want them to be. Like the sky, they are limitless. All you need to do is to choose the right flora - those tresses that would go on to define your planter. Adorn your decor with a bit of character and have fun watching it grow into a person. Wheel-thrown and handcrafted by a Karnataka-based artisan community, this planter is illustrated by hand - every single piece of them.
Part of collection titled ‘I AM’, a celebration of gender fluidity through face planters without an assigned gender, definable only through locks of flora that live inside them.

To clean stains from the illustrated area and/ remove fungus, you can wipe the surface with vinegar and water at 1:1 ratio. Avoid using hard chemicals or abrasives on the surface, as it may cause permanent damage to the illustration as well as the organically coated black colour of the planter.
To err is human, and sometimes, incomparably beautiful. Every planters is the output of a series of processes all governed by hands. Each planter pot, after a process of wheel-throwing, are shaped and moulded by hand for their asymmetric form and contours. As a result, each piece is bound is carry varying forms of dips and dimples, from piece to piece. The moulded and high-fired pots are then exposed to smoke for hours for its natural black colour. Some planters may carry traces of brown, which is completely natural and unique to each planter. They are entirely hand-illustrated, a process that takes many hours to complete, and therefore, there will be slight variations in its illustration from the image provided.
