The Ydra series planters are made from red clay using 3D printing technology and are hand glazed. The shapes of the series are related to their function, the double tubular walls feature a water storage receptacle that works through the porosity of the clay, allowing the plants to drink gently and the soil to stay cool. The complexity of the shape allows for free compositions such as plants (in the main part of the pot) and cut flowers (in the parts acting as water reservoirs, and therefore also possibly as vases).
