PL
Made by Atelier Vierkant
Designed by Annette Lantsoght
The PL planter by Annette Lantsoght for Atelier Vierkant is a study in considered restraint. Low-profile and circular, its form is drawn from the language of the earth itself, shaped by hand in Belgium from raw clay that carries the subtle marks of its making.
Atelier Vierkant works exclusively with natural clay bodies, fired to reveal a surface that shifts between matte and mineral depending on the light. No two pieces are identical. The variation is the point: a record of craft, not a deviation from it.
Designed for outdoor environments, the PL reads equally well as a solitary object and as one element within a composed arrangement. Its neutral palette holds a dialogue with stone, timber, water, and foliage without competing with any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clay and finishes does Atelier Vierkant use for the PL?
Atelier Vierkant works with natural clay bodies fired at high temperatures to produce dense, weather-resistant vessels. Finishes vary across their collections, ranging from raw, unglazed surfaces to subtly textured exteriors, each intended to develop a quiet patina over time.
Is the PL planter suitable for year-round outdoor use?
Atelier Vierkant designs its planters for outdoor environments, though specific frost tolerance depends on the finish and clay body selected. For climates with severe winters, the studio recommends consulting about appropriate specifications for extended cold exposure.
Who is Annette Lantsoght?
Annette Lantsoght is a Belgian designer whose practice focuses on the intersection of craft, material culture, and contemporary form. Her work with Atelier Vierkant reflects a sustained interest in how handmade objects can carry presence and identity within outdoor and architectural contexts.
How is each PL planter made, and does handcrafting affect consistency?
Each piece is shaped by hand at Atelier Vierkant's workshop in Belgium, meaning minor variations in surface texture and proportion are inherent to the process. These differences are considered part of the object's character rather than imperfections.
What lead time should I expect for a made-to-order PL planter?
As a made-to-order piece, production timelines vary depending on scale, finish selection, and current workshop capacity. Lead times are confirmed at the time of order and can be discussed with a design specialist.
