The Wycliffe™ Contemporary Sculptural Planter
The Wycliffe™ is one of Oxford Planters’ most distinctive contemporary designs. Its stacked horizontal sections are progressively offset to create a sculptural form that changes subtly as it is viewed from different angles.
Originally created exclusively for Oxford Planters in 2007 by Anthony Paul of Anthony Paul Landscape Design, the Wycliffe™ combines contemporary garden design with the craftsmanship of individually made architectural joinery.
Its strong silhouette makes it particularly suited to entrances, terraces, courtyards and contemporary landscapes where the planter is intended to become an architectural feature in its own right.
A Sculptural Approach to the Wooden Planter
Unlike a conventional square planter, the Wycliffe™ is constructed as a sequence of precisely formed horizontal sections.
Each layer projects beyond the one below, creating the distinctive stepped profile and interplay of light and shadow that defines the design. The result is deliberately architectural: clean, confident and immediately recognisable.
Used individually, the Wycliffe™ creates a strong focal point. Used as a matching pair or repeated through a landscape, its distinctive geometry can introduce rhythm and structure to the setting.
Made for Contemporary Landscapes
The Wycliffe™ is particularly at home within contemporary gardens and architectural spaces where strong form and carefully considered proportions are important.
Its sculptural character works beautifully with clipped topiary and specimen planting, where the simplicity of the planting allows the planter itself to remain an important part of the composition.
Each Wycliffe™ is individually made, allowing its proportions to be considered in relation to the planting, location and surrounding architecture.

Each Wycliffe™ is individually handmade to order in our Cotswolds workshop.
We can work from our established dimensions or discuss alternative proportions to suit your garden, terrace or architectural setting. Timber and finish can also be specified to complement the surrounding materials and design.

A Modern Statement Planter
The Wycliffe™ is designed for situations where the planter should contribute as much to the architecture of a space as the planting it contains.
Its progressively offset sections create a sense of movement while retaining a strong overall symmetry. From a distance the silhouette is bold and simple; viewed more closely, the craftsmanship and precision required to create each individual section become apparent.
This makes the Wycliffe™ particularly effective as an architectural planter beside contemporary buildings, within formal courtyards or as a focal point within a modern garden.
Handmade for Longevity
Each Wycliffe™ is handmade in our Cotswolds workshop, combining its unusual geometry with the robust construction required of an outdoor planter.
It can be commissioned in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, allowing the material and finish to be selected according to the setting. Oak and Iroko can be allowed to weather naturally, while Accoya™ provides an excellent foundation for a professionally applied painted finish.
Guide dimensions are available, but each planter is made to order and alternative dimensions can be discussed where the planting or setting requires different proportions.
