PLANTUM PLANTER
PLANTUM was conceived as a solution to a common problem in landscape design: gardens and patios littered with black plastic nursery containers. One day on a job site Micah Heimlich had a brainstorm. Using an ad hoc but ingenious arrangement of wood pickets, he found that the issue instantly disappeared. This led him to experiment wit evermore sophisticated solutions on other projects.
PLANTUM as you see it today was the result. Already in use in various private homes and offices around Los Angeles, it is now available to the general public.
The standard unit Plantum is a set of 26 pickets connected by hinge buckles. Pickets are available in two heights, 19.25 and 14.25 inches. To use the product, wrap it around the desired plant container and lock it in place with the adjustable end latch. No tools are necessary. Pickets can be easily added or removed from the assembly to enable it to fit around most plant containers. Additional pickets are available for purchase. A sizing guide is available.
MATERIALS
Plantum is currently available in SAPGUM, RECYCLED WOOD and PLEXIGLAS. All of them are for interior and exterior use.
1. SAPGUM
– Colors come in bleached, natural, and stained. This is a natural product and variations are to be expected. Sapgum has an irregular yet lustrous grain, with a fine uniform texture. A chemical-free thermo treatment has made the wood more durable and stable, reducing its moisture content, and giving it an even chocolate tint. When left outside, the raw wood achieves a natural gray patina. This product is 100% green and eco friendly. Liquidambar styraciflua is a hardwood that is grown in the South Eastern United States.
1. RECYCLED WOOD
– Different wood species are reclaimed, so variations are to be expected. Colors come in bleached, natural, and stained.
Sources include solid wood floors normally destined for the trash heap, which are re-milled and shaped to fit, and fall off, which are left overs from wood mills.
3. PLEXIGLAS – These are multicolored laminated acrylic pickets that change color as the light source varies. For interior or exterior use.
Colors come in faux-cotta, natural, and fluorescent green.
Custom orders are available. Please email for more information.
