The Osler™ Art Deco Wooden Planter
Made in Oak, Iroko or Accoya
An Art Deco Inspired Wooden Planter
The Osler™ draws inspiration from the geometry and restraint of Art Deco design, translating strong lines and ordered proportions into a distinctive architectural wooden planter.
Stepped vertical detailing defines its character, creating depth and rhythm without applied ornament, while hand-formed lead capping provides a refined finishing detail. The geometric form sits naturally within formal gardens, terraces, courtyards and contemporary landscapes.
We make each Osler™ individually to order, with its dimensions, timber and finish considered in relation to the planting and architectural setting.
Geometry, Rhythm & Proportion
The Osler™ is defined by the rhythm of its stepped vertical detailing. Alternating planes create subtle changes in light and shadow, giving the planter a different presence as it is viewed from different angles.
Behind its distinctive form, each Osler™ is engineered according to its scale and anticipated planting load, providing the strength required for substantial planting and long-term exterior use.
Commission the Osler™
The Osler™ is made exclusively in Accoya™, with dimensions and painted finish considered in relation to the planting and architectural setting.
Commission individually, as a matching pair or as part of a coordinated landscape scheme.

Explore the Osler™ in a range of garden and architectural settings, showing how its stepped geometric detailing works across different proportions, painted finishes and planting schemes.
Designed for Architectural Landscapes
The strong geometry of the Osler™ allows it to become part of the architecture of a garden rather than simply containing the planting.
Used as a pair, Osler™ planters can frame an entrance, doorway or garden feature. Repeated across a larger scheme, their vertical lines introduce rhythm and structure to terraces and formal landscapes.
The geometric form also provides a strong counterpoint to softer specimen planting, bringing foliage and architecture into deliberate contrast.
Made Exclusively in Accoya™
We make the Osler™ exclusively in Accoya™, chosen for the dimensional stability required by its precise stepped detailing and geometric form.
Its stability also makes it particularly suited to our professionally applied painted finish, allowing the crisp lines, alternating planes and Art Deco inspired character of the Osler™ to remain clearly defined.
Osler™ FAQs
What makes the Osler™ an Art Deco inspired planter?
The Osler™ takes inspiration from the strong geometry, vertical lines and ordered proportions associated with Art Deco design. Stepped timber detailing and hand-formed lead capping give those influences a distinctive architectural interpretation.
Where does an Osler™ planter work best?
Its geometric form works particularly well on terraces, beside entrances and within formal or contemporary landscapes. Used in pairs or repeated across a larger scheme, the vertical detailing introduces rhythm and structure.
What timber is the Osler™ made from?
We make the Osler™ exclusively in Accoya™, chosen for its excellent dimensional stability and suitability for the precise detailing and professionally applied painted finish of this design.
Can the Osler™ be made to different dimensions?
Yes. We make each Osler™ to order, with dimensions considered in relation to the intended planting, location and surrounding architecture.
Can I plant directly into an Osler™?
Yes. We design the Osler™ for direct planting. Our specialist internal coating system, developed for our planters in 2008, protects the internal timber surfaces while maximising the space available for planting.
Is the Osler™ suitable for substantial planting?
Yes. We consider the engineering of each Osler™ according to its dimensions and anticipated planting load, providing the strength required for substantial planting and long-term exterior use.
