The Pebble pot family is a line of ceramic artefacts, designed to meet the requirements of both indoor and outdoor use. They are ideal for plant lovers who are looking for decorative items for their space that are also practical pots for small plants.
This project is inspired by the pebbles found on the beaches of Greece and the positive effect that pebbles have on people in a subconscious way.
Because of their organic forms, sculptural qualities and their smooth porous surface, pebbles are things people usually like to touch, hold in their hands and many times carry back home with them, as special souvenirs that remind them of a vacation or a trip in nature.
Our Pebble pots aspire in a way to bring indoors the organic sense and tactility of natural pebbles and recreate the same positive feelings awakened by the magical simplicity of their forms. The goal of this project is to bring this pleasant feeling into people’s houses and at the same time to create useful and aesthetically pleasant objects for the household or garden.
The characteristic surface and form of pebbles in nature is the result of an infinite process of polishing through friction with water and other rocks. Our intention was to reproduce the sense of the harmonious co-existing between natural pebbles and the microorganisms that grow on them, sculpting their surfaces.
Every pot is composed of two parts: the lower part forms a space which receives the soil and the plants. The top part has holes for the plants to fit in and also forms a lid, which can be removed by the user in order to check the internal space and the soil.
The Pebble pots are made of a special ceramic stoneware that contains a rough Chamotte clay, since the goal was to recreate the porous texture of the pebbles found in nature as much as possible.
