About RIO Planter
Every RIO is wider than it is tall — 87.5W x 70H cm at the top of the range, 53W x 45H cm at the bottom — and that proportion is what does the work. A wide footprint holds its ground on an open deck or a windy courtyard, and the crisp vertical lines up each wall stop the larger sizes from looking bulky. Close up the light stone body reads as natural stonework, textured and matte, yet it stays light enough to carry through a standard garden gate and shift around the garden while you settle on the right spot.
In the showroom the size choice usually comes down to the setting. The 87.5W x 70H anchors a pool surround or the turn of a garden walkway. The 69W x 57H sits well as a mid-height companion. The 53W x 45H fits where a doorway or a path edge limits how much floor you can give up. All three handle gusty weather the same way: the wide base means a tall shrub in the top of the pot will not pull the planter over. Indoors, that same low, grounded stance suits rooms with the ceiling height to carry structural foliage.
Matching shapes across a courtyard is easier when you see them side by side, so start with the rest of the Light Stone Planters collection. To find out which of the three sizes is on the showroom floor in Malaga, or to ask about Perth metropolitan delivery, contact us about a product or project.
Common questions
What size should I choose?
It comes down to the setting. The 87.5W x 70H cm anchors a pool surround or the turn of a garden walkway, the 69W x 57H cm sits well as a mid-height companion, and the 53W x 45H cm fits where a doorway or a path edge limits how much floor you can give up. If you are matching shapes across a courtyard, come and see them side by side in Malaga.
Which plants suit a pot this wide?
Upright foliage with some height to it — bird of paradise, olive trees, large cycads — reads well against the wide, stable profile. Dense flowering shrubs such as camellias work just as easily, and so do mixed arrangements that combine structural grasses with trailing groundcovers spilling over the rim.
