It takes a certain confidence to hang something from the ceiling. Plants don’t usually go up there, and when they do, it’s in a flimsy basket with a plastic hook.

This speckled gray planter gives your suspended greenery a bit more authority, lifting it cleanly from the floor to someplace vaguely eye-level.

The finish keeps it from feeling precious. It’s not glossy. Not overly styled. Just lightly weathered, like it’s been minding its business for a while, gently swaying from its charming braided rope. Fill it with something trailing and dramatic for a leafy cascade, or something upright and stoic looking for a higher perch.

It doesn’t demand attention. It just prefers better airspace.
