Antipode Planter

Designed by: Patrick Morris
Made by: Morris Design Office

All down under and upside down comments aside, this Antipode planter from Morris Design Office takes the tradtional hanging planter and literally tips it over. The New Zealand company's innovative growth-from-the-bottom strategy uses 90% less water than its conventional counterparts, requires refills only once or twice a month, and is versatile enough to suit tomatoes to orchids, and nearly everything in between.
