Moab Desert Planter Duo

An elevated desert-inspired tabletop object where sculptural form meets living texture.
Two air plants—Tillandsia xerographica and Tillandsia adpressiflora—sit nestled on hand-placed Spanish moss within a refined clay planter with a stone-like look and ridges that add texture and interest.

The ridged vessel and muted green foliage bring the quiet warmth of rust-red canyons into your space. Designed for versatility, this piece is ideal for coffee tables, consoles, or entryway surfaces.

Designed exclusively for Italic by House of Lilac, no two planters will look the same. Each week, House of Lilac hand-selects the plants at the farm where they are cultivated. Due to sourcing process, orders may take up to 7 business days to ship out.
