A Contemporary Architectural Wooden Planter
The Keble No.3 Classic™ is a contemporary wooden planter defined by straight-sided proportions, horizontal boarding and restrained architectural detailing.
Developed as a more streamlined interpretation of the Keble No.3™, the Classic removes unnecessary ornament to create a crisp geometric form particularly suited to contemporary gardens and architectural landscapes.
Horizontal timber boards give the planter its distinctive character, while the subtly shaped lower edge introduces a considered detail without interrupting the simplicity of the design.
We make each Keble No.3 Classic™ individually to order in our Cotswolds workshop in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, with dimensions and finish considered in relation to its setting.
Clean Lines & Considered Detail
Strong geometry gives the Keble No.3 Classic™ its architectural presence.
Straight sides and horizontal boarding create a restrained silhouette, while the shaped lower edge provides a subtle point of difference from a purely minimalist planter.
As a result, the Keble No.3 Classic™ can introduce structure and definition without competing with the planting or surrounding architecture.

Designed for Contemporary Gardens
The clean geometry of the Keble No.3 Classic™ makes it particularly suited to contemporary gardens, terraces and architectural landscapes.
Its strong proportions provide a considered framework for specimen planting, while the understated horizontal detailing sits naturally alongside modern glazing, rendered façades, stone, brick and contemporary landscape materials.
Within larger schemes, repeated Keble No.3 Classic™ planters can introduce rhythm, structure and definition without competing with the surrounding architecture or planting.
Bespoke Dimensions
As with all Oxford Planters designs, the Keble No.3 Classic™ is made to order rather than restricted to fixed sizes. We consider its proportions in relation to the planting, setting and scale of the surrounding architecture.
Oak, Iroko or Accoya™
The Keble No.3 Classic™ can be commissioned in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, with each timber bringing a different character to its clean horizontal detailing.
Oak and Iroko may be left to weather naturally, emphasising the grain and warmth of the timber against the planter’s contemporary form. Accoya™ provides the option of a painted finish, allowing the Keble No.3 Classic™ to relate more closely to surrounding architecture and exterior joinery.
