Custom Planters for Offices, Businesses and Public Spaces

For an office, business premises or public space, choose a planter based on size, material and quantity: for multiple locations or a symmetrical layout, a series of matching mosaic planters looks calmest, with a company logo worked into the mosaic as an option.

Why do businesses choose a series of matching planters?

At an office building, showroom or public space, a row of mismatched, uneven pots stands out quickly, and not in a good way. A series of planters in the same shape and colour palette brings calm to an entrance, a facade or a terrace. Because every piece is mosaic laid by hand, inspired by the Egyptian mosaic tradition, no two pieces are ever fully identical. For a business series we work with a fixed colour palette and shape, so the overall result reads as one line while each piece keeps its own character.

That also helps when you expand: if a second location or an extra entrance is added later, a matching planter in the same colour and size is simple to order again. That keeps the look consistent over the longer term, without settling for an identical, factory made series product.

What size planter suits an office, entrance or public space?

The right size mostly depends on the location and the distance from which it needs to work:

• At a reception desk or in a lobby: a compact bowl that also looks good indoors.
• On either side of an entrance or door: a medium pot, ideally in pairs for symmetry.
• At a driveway, plaza or wide facade: larger pots or amphorae up to about 120 cm, recognisable even from a distance.
• Across a series of similar spots: keep the same size and colour for a calm, repeated look.

How many planters you actually need depends on the floor plan: count the entrances, corners and resting points where you genuinely want an eye catcher, and favour two solid pots in the right spot over five smaller ones spread too thin to stand out.

Choosing between two sizes for a single entrance? Our guide on large pots by the driveway covers symmetry and stability.

Can a company logo be worked into the planter?

Yes: alongside colour, model and size, custom work can also include a company logo laid into the mosaic, piece by piece. A custom order like this takes six to ten weeks on average from approval to delivery, with progress photos along the way.

This is the same option we described earlier for planters for a restaurant terrace or business premises, and it works just as well for an office courtyard, reception area or public space.

Do mosaic planters stay outside all year round?

Terracotta and pottery are porous: they breathe and let moisture evaporate faster than plastic does. Not every terracotta pot is frost resistant though, and that matters especially at a business location where nobody brings the pots indoors for winter. For year round outdoor use, always choose a frost resistant pot with a drainage hole, and keep an eye on current weather and frost data from KNMI during cold spells. Our earlier article on frost resistant pots goes deeper into what that means in practice.

What does a series of business planters cost?

The collection starts at around 135 euros per piece; larger formats and custom series are available on request with a quote, which you receive within two business days. We deliver in the Netherlands and Belgium, right to the spot where the planter will stand. Handmade pottery also lasts for decades, which makes it a more sustainable choice over time than plastic pots that need replacing sooner.
