Fermo Large Planter

The Fermo large planter by Melaaura is a study in architectural simplicity—elevated by texture, grounded in form. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, this sculptural piece bridges the functional needs of a planter with the aesthetic clarity of an art object. Its carved grooves give rhythm to its cylindrical shape, catching light and shadow differently throughout the day, while the weathered cement finish offers raw sophistication that resists trends.

At 75 cm wide and 63 cm tall, the Fermo is not just a large planter—it’s a statement. This is the kind of vessel made for anchoring entryways, framing architectural paths, or defining corners of a space that demand more than a plant in a pot. It works alone or in multiples, whether staggered in size or aligned in symmetry.

Available in white or ash, both colorways bring out the tactile quality of the ribbed surface. The matte white finish reads crisp and modern, while the ash leans into a deeper, slate-like tone—ideal for pairing with warm landscapes, dark walls, or neutral interiors. Despite its concrete-like appearance, the planter remains manageable in weight, making it practical for both residential and commercial environments.

While traditional planter boxes are linear and utilitarian, the Fermo embraces curves and proportion. Its wide mouth gives room for root expansion, allowing even large indoor plants to thrive. Use it as an indoor planter with a fiddle leaf fig, or move it to the patio with a sago palm or olive tree. It’s durable enough for year-round outdoor use, yet refined enough to live beside high-end furniture indoors.

The Fermo was created for designers and clients who want a planter that feels intentional—not just as a plant holder but as a piece of the space. It’s compatible with modern, industrial, Mediterranean, and Japandi-style spaces alike. And because it comes in multiple sizes, it adapts easily to both compact terraces and expansive gardens.

In contrast to glazed ceramics or plastic plant pots, this cement planter doesn’t chase shine. It celebrates texture, weight, and permanence. The tactile grooves offer a contrast to leafy textures and trailing vines, and create subtle shadow play in sunlight. Whether styled in minimalist atriums or lush outdoor courtyards, the Fermo adds structure and calm.

Looking for something more versatile than a traditional plant pot? This large plant pot is built for scale. It can house oversized houseplants, small trees, or layered arrangements with moss, succulents, and trailing species. Its depth allows for proper drainage (with optional liners or inserts), and its thickness ensures stability in wind-exposed areas.

Unlike thin-walled outdoor planters that wear with time, Fermo is built to age gracefully. Its surface might gather patina, but its silhouette remains timeless. For designers working on commercial landscapes, hospitality spaces, or high-end homes, the Fermo offers reliability—both structurally and visually.

This is more than a planter. It’s a design object for spaces that value proportion, material honesty, and restraint. And while it plays well with others—nestled among garden pots, flanking walkways, or standing alone near a water feature—it’s never background noise.

Melaaura designs each planter in its collection with intention. The Fermo stands as proof: a large planter that holds not just soil, but presence.
