Lead planters
Using a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) table
cutter, we cut the 22mm plywood into pieces that form a
bottomless three sided planter cover. The idea behind our
design is to eliminate the need for re potting during seasonal changes. Simply just swap over your potted plant.
After the plywood box is assembled, we encapsulate it in
lead. This step involves covering the outer surface of the
plywood box with lead and dressing in the lead using
traditional hand tooling to form the desired design. The
lead provides a traditional aesthetic while also offering
durability and weather resistance.
This approach combines modern CNC technology for
precise cutting with traditional materials and techniques
(like lead encapsulation) to create a product that blends
old and new aesthetics. It's a method that results in a robust and visually appealing planter cover suitable for various outdoor settings. We currently have two designs in
production retailing at £300 ex vat plus delivery. More
designs are currently in development. Please contact

Our concept LED lead planter cover is due to hit the
shelves soon while research and testing are ongoing to ensure the product meets the highest standards and stylish
solution for both residential and event settings.
Traditional with Innovative Design: The planter covers
blend traditional materials (like lead) with modern design
elements (LED lighting). This combination not only ensures durability and a classic aesthetic but also introduces
innovative features for enhanced functionality.
Versatile Lighting Options: The LED lighting offers a
range of options, from plain white for creating a serene
ambiance in heritage estates to vibrant colours for events.
This versatility allows users to customize the atmosphere
according to their specific needs and preferences.
Pre-programmed Settings: With over 30 pre-programmed
settings, the planter covers make it easy to achieve different lighting effects without needing extensive technical
knowledge. This feature enhances usability and makes
the covers suitable for various occasions and moods.
DMX Compatibility: The compatibility with DMX
(Digital Multiplex) means that professionals and enthusiasts can control the lighting remotely and synchronize
it with other DMX-compatible devices. This is particularly useful for events where precise lighting coordination
is required.
Integration with Home Automation: By being compatible
with home automation systems, the planter covers can be
seamlessly integrated into smart home setups. This allows
for convenient control via smartphones or voice
assistants, enhancing ease of use and adaptability.
Suitability for Different Settings: Whether it’s enhancing
the ambiance of a heritage estate or adding flair to an
event venue, the versatility and advanced features of
these planter covers make them adaptable to various
environments and occasions.
