RVC
Made by Atelier Vierkant
The RVC planter is born from a collaboration between Atelier Vierkant, the Belgian atelier known for its mastery of fired clay, and product designer Roel Vandebeek. The result is a form that refuses easy categorization: part vessel, part sculpture, part architectural object.
Curved clay pots rest atop a steel wire mesh base that appears to hover between structure and ground. The wire allows light to pass through, casting shifting shadows and giving the composition an openness that solid planters rarely achieve. Mass and transparency exist in genuine dialogue here, neither element dominating the other.
- Handcrafted fired clay by Atelier Vierkant, Belgium
- Steel wire mesh base for visual lightness and structural support
- Designed for indoor and outdoor use
- Proportioned for apartments, terraces, and spaces where flexibility matters
- Available made to order
Roel Vandebeek's sensibility draws from both product design and architectural thinking, and the RVC reflects that training. The object does not simply sit in a space. It participates in it, drawing the eye downward to the ground plane as much as upward to the planting above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is the RVC planter made from?
The RVC combines handcrafted fired clay bodies by Atelier Vierkant with a steel wire mesh base. The pairing was intentional: the density of the clay contrasts with the open, airy quality of the wire structure beneath it.
Is the RVC planter suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The RVC is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. Atelier Vierkant's clay pieces are kiln-fired to withstand the elements, though placement in extreme freeze-thaw climates should be considered carefully.
Who is the designer Roel Vandebeek?
Roel Vandebeek is a Belgian product designer whose practice bridges industrial design and architectural thinking. His work frequently examines material contrast and structural honesty, and the RVC series is among his most recognized collaborations.
What is Atelier Vierkant's approach to clay?
Atelier Vierkant is a Belgian studio with deep expertise in handcrafted ceramic and clay objects. Each piece is made by hand, meaning slight surface variations are inherent to the process and considered part of the object's character.
Can the RVC planter be ordered in custom sizes or finishes?
The RVC is available made to order, which allows for discussion of specific dimensions or finish requirements. Inquiring directly is the appropriate path for custom specifications.
