A Modern Square Wooden Planter
The Keble No.3 Classic™ is a modern square wooden planter combining clean horizontal lines, straight-sided proportions and restrained architectural detailing.
Developed as a more streamlined interpretation of the Keble No.3™, the Classic has a crisp geometric form that works particularly well within contemporary gardens and architectural landscapes.
Its simplicity places emphasis on proportion, craftsmanship and finish rather than applied ornament. Horizontal boarding gives the planter its distinctive character while maintaining the clean, understated appearance of the overall design.
Each Keble No.3 Classic is individually handmade to order in our Cotswolds workshop in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, with dimensions and finish selected to complement its setting.
Clean Lines & Minimal Detailing
The defining character of the Keble No.3 Classic comes from the relationship between its square proportions and horizontal detailing.
Straight sides create a strong geometric silhouette, while the subtly shaped lower edge introduces just enough detail to distinguish the design without compromising its simplicity.
The result is a contemporary square planter that can provide structure to a garden while allowing the planting and surrounding architecture to remain the focus.

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 square proportions provide a strong framework for specimen planting, while the understated horizontal detailing allows it to work alongside modern glazing, rendered façades, stone, brick and contemporary landscape materials.
Used as matching pairs, the planters can frame entrances and doorways. Repeated within a larger scheme, they can introduce rhythm and structure without making the containers themselves overly decorative.
Made to Your Required Dimensions
The Keble No.3 Classic™ can be adapted to suit its setting while retaining the clean proportions of the original design.
Alternative widths, heights and proportions can be considered for individual planters, matching pairs or coordinated collections.
Our team can advise on dimensions in relation to the planting, location and surrounding architecture.
Natural Timber or Painted Finish
Rather than three long timber sections on every product page, I’d now make this three short cards:
Oak
Natural grain and warmth provide an effective contrast with the planter’s clean contemporary form.
Iroko
A durable hardwood with a warm natural appearance that complements the horizontal detailing.
Accoya™
Particularly suited to crisp painted finishes, with colours selected to complement exterior joinery or the wider landscape.
