Seedhead Shell Planter (Small)

Mel Campion

In this work, shell artist Mel Campion studied different seedpods and their architectural layout. “I have always marvelled at the design elements of the natural world” says Mel, “and have hugely enjoyed emulating this in the design of these planters.”

Shells and plants have a lot in common. Designed by nature and shaped by their environments, every detail of these intricate and extraordinary forms has inspired artists and designers for centuries.

Mel uses a combination of sustainably sourced whole and crushed shells and cement on a zinc base to create these planters. They are incredibly durable and the only thing that is likely to show their age is the gathering of moss on the shells over time, which in itself is a beautiful natural process.

Available in three sizes. Each shell planter is handmade in Mel’s studio and will have its own unique variations. Please enquire for bespoke options.
