Details

“We simply want to create things people won’t get rid of,” says Chen-Yen Wei of the objects that she designs with her husband and partner, Hung-Ming Chen. In creating the Story Planter (2020), the pair brought a new twist to floral arrangements by accommodating plants and flowers in a vertical stack within a very compact footprint. “It was not an easy task, though it appears really simple,” says Hung-Ming of the design. “We hope people see it as a quiet, functional sculpture.” Providing vertical storage with a sculptural twist, the Story Planter holds greenery, flowers, and other odds-and-ends in a compact footprint. Rotate bowls forward or to a side, creating a customized profile that fits your needs.

The Story Bookcase and the Story Planter are built on the same stem. If you purchase both a bookcase and a planter, you can mix and match shelves and bowls to create literary gardens and libraries that grow. Indoor use only. Simple assembly required; ships in multiple boxes for easy handling. Made in Taiwan.

Space-saving compact footprint saves valuable room.
Holds plants, flowers and odds-and-ends in a vertical stack.
Bowls can be rotated to the front or side, removed and reinserted.
Wall anchoring hardware and safety strap included.
