Miracle Cork: Melanie Abrantes' Pots and Planters - Gardenista
In addition to its being water resistant, naturally antibacterial, sustainable, and recyclable, cork can be turned into all sorts of things.
Abrantes’ Modern Cork Planters come in three sizes; the small, shown here, are 5 inches tall and $84 each, plants not included.
“I’m drawn to materials that are natural and beautiful in their raw state,” says Abrantes.
The Leather-Strap Hanging Planter is $115.
Abrantes also makes 5-inch-tall, hand-turned wood vases that come with glass vial inserts for fresh flowers; $75 each. Shown here, from left: the Straight Cherry Wood Vase; Double Cherry Wood Vase; Walnut Straight Hardwood Vase; and Double Walnut Vase.
