What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Ready to give both hanging baskets and gravity-bound planters a 43 mph* run for their money, these ingenious indoor/outdoor ostrich planters stand—literally, on feet—somewhere in between.

  • Welded by Kenyan Tom Ateto and his team of artisans using washers, nuts, and other salvaged metal pieces.
  • Their "plumage" is created by the arrangement of small plants and/or succulents you fill them with—imagine both trailing and spiky upright flora and you'll begin to see their potential for magnificence, not to mention personality.
  • Handmade in Nairobi, Kenya.

    • *The speed ostriches can run.

Due to the recycled and handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

location

Kenya

Tom Ateto and his small team of talented sculptors work in an old British barracks outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Heaps of used machine parts come into their studio as raw material. After the group transforms them with their sculpture magic, what was formerly junk goes out the door as personality-filled outdoor works of art.
