Planting Mid-Century Ideals


The Case Study House Project—that illustrious experiment in mid-century modern dwellings—spawned a cottage industry of household items. This outdoor planter from Modernica is copied from a 1950s design typical of the spare furnishings that decorated the project’s original houses. Made of teak to withstand the great outdoors, the Case Study planter has a high-fired ceramic pot that comes in charcoal (shown), white, or sage, and in 10" or 12" sizes, retailing for $149 or $189. The planter can be ordered through Modernica’s showrooms, which are listed at www.modernica.net.
