A Minimalist Wooden Cube Planter
The Linacre™ is a minimalist wooden cube planter defined by uninterrupted timber surfaces, precise proportions and an absence of decorative detail.
Its simple geometric form gives the planter a strong architectural presence, allowing the planting and surrounding landscape to remain the focus. We make each Linacre™ individually to order in our Cotswolds workshop, with proportions considered for its setting and intended planting.
Simplicity Demands Precision
The Linacre™ relies on proportion, precision and the natural character of the timber rather than ornament.
Substantial solid timber gives the design its distinctive sense of permanence, while carefully resolved detailing maintains its clean, understated appearance.
Behind that simplicity, we consider each planter for the considerable loads associated with soil, water and mature planting, creating a robust planter designed for long-term exterior use.
Commission a Linacre™ Planter
Commission the Linacre™ individually, as a matching pair or as a coordinated collection, with proportions considered for the intended planting and architectural setting.
Choose from Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, with natural or painted finishes depending on the timber selected.
Tell us about your project and we will be happy to advise on the most appropriate dimensions, timber and finish.
Current lead time: approximately 6–8 weeks.

Explore the Linacre™ in natural timber and painted finishes, where its clean geometric form creates a strong setting for specimen planting and contemporary landscapes.
Designed for Contemporary Architecture
The restrained form of the Linacre™ sits naturally alongside glazing, stone, brick and rendered façades, creating a considered relationship between planting and architecture.
A single Linacre™ provides a strong setting for specimen planting, while pairs can define entrances and architectural features. Repeated across a terrace or larger landscape, the design introduces rhythm and structure without competing with its surroundings.
Designed for Substantial Planting
The Linacre™ combines its minimalist appearance with the strength required for substantial planting.
We consider the proportions and engineering of each planter according to its intended use, taking account of the considerable loads created by soil, water and mature planting.
This allows the Linacre™ to retain its clean architectural form while providing the strength and durability required for long-term exterior use.
Natural Timber or Painted Finish
Oak
The distinctive grain of Oak brings natural texture and warmth to the Linacre™ and provides a contrast to its minimalist form.
Iroko
Iroko gives the Linacre™ a quieter, more uniform natural appearance, allowing its simple geometry and substantial form to take precedence.
Accoya™
For a painted Linacre™, Accoya™ offers the stability required for a precise finish, allowing colour to create a closer relationship with surrounding architecture and exterior joinery.
Linacre™ FAQs
What makes the Linacre™ different from other contemporary planters?
The Linacre™ uses uninterrupted timber surfaces rather than panelled or horizontal-boarded detailing. Its character comes from simple geometry, substantial timber and carefully considered proportions.
Is the Linacre™ suitable for substantial planting?
Yes. We consider the engineering of each Linacre™ according to its dimensions and intended planting, taking account of the considerable loads created by soil, water and mature plants.
Can I plant directly into a Linacre™?
Yes. We design the Linacre™ for direct planting. Our specialist internal coating system, developed for our planters in 2008, protects the internal timber surfaces while allowing the full internal space to be used for planting.
What timber is the Linacre™ available in?
We offer the Linacre™ in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™. Oak and Iroko provide a natural timber finish, while Accoya™ is particularly suited to a precise painted finish.
Can you make the Linacre™ in larger sizes?
Yes. We make each Linacre™ to order and consider its proportions and engineering according to its scale, intended planting and location. As the scale changes, so does the engineering.
