Contemporary Cube Planter
The Keble No.3™ is a contemporary wooden cube planter defined by balanced proportions, horizontal boarding and restrained architectural detailing.
Unlike the tapered Keble No.2™, its grounded cubic form creates a stronger, more structured presence within gardens, terraces, courtyards and entrances.
Each Keble No.3™ is made to order in our Cotswolds workshop in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, with dimensions and finish considered for its setting.
Simple Geometry, Carefully Considered
The apparent simplicity of the Keble No.3™ places particular importance on proportion. Horizontal boarding emphasises its form, creating a substantial architectural planter that works equally well individually, as a pair or repeated within a larger landscape.
Commission a Keble No.3™ Planter
The Keble No.3™ can be commissioned individually, as a matching pair or as a coordinated collection, with proportions considered for the intended planting and setting.
Tell us about your project and we will be happy to advise on the most appropriate dimensions, timber and finish.
Current lead time: approximately 5–7 weeks.
Keble No.3™ Wooden Planter Gallery
Explore the Keble No.3™ in a range of architectural and garden settings, illustrating how different proportions, timbers, finishes and planting give each commission its own character.
Designed for Different Proportions
The distinctive horizontal detailing of the Keble No.3™ can be interpreted in different proportions while retaining the character of the original design.
Its classic cubic form provides a strong setting for individual specimens, while longer proportions work particularly well along terraces, boundaries and within more linear planting schemes.
Each is considered in relation to the intended planting, location and surrounding architecture.
Designed for Contemporary Landscapes
The simple geometry of the Keble No.3 makes it particularly suited to contemporary gardens and architectural landscapes.
Its square form can provide a strong focal point for specimen planting, while matching pairs can frame entrances and doorways. Repeated planters can be used to introduce rhythm and structure along terraces, paths and larger landscaped spaces.
Longer versions can also define boundaries, divide spaces and accommodate more extensive planting while retaining the clean horizontal character of the original design.
Dimensions can be considered in relation to the planting, location and surrounding architecture.
Oak, Iroko or Accoya™
Timber choice can noticeably change the character of the Keble No.3™. In Oak or Iroko, the natural grain softens its strong geometric form and brings warmth to the horizontal boarding.
In Accoya™, a painted finish gives the design a sharper architectural quality, particularly where the planter is intended to relate to doors, windows or other exterior joinery.
Keble No.3™ FAQs
Is the Keble No.3™ suitable for substantial planting?
Yes. We consider the engineering of each Keble No.3™ individually according to its dimensions, proportions and intended planting. Traditional joinery and a robust structural approach allow the planter to accommodate substantial planting and the considerable loads associated with soil, water and mature plants.
Is the Keble No.3™ designed for long-term outdoor use?
Yes. The Keble No.3™ is made specifically for exterior use, with timber, joinery and internal protection considered for longevity. Our specialist internal coating system, developed for our planters in 2008, protects the internal timber surfaces when planted directly into.
Can the Keble No.3™ be made in longer proportions?
Yes. The design can be interpreted in longer proportions while retaining the horizontal boarding and architectural character of the original Keble No.3™.
What timber is the Keble No.3™ available in?
The Keble No.3™ can be commissioned in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™. Each offers a different aesthetic and approach to exterior use, from naturally weathering timber to a painted finish.
Can the Keble No.3™ be made to bespoke dimensions?
Yes. Every Keble No.3™ is made to order, allowing its proportions to be considered in relation to the intended planting, location and surrounding architecture.
