Hip Haven Bullet Planter

Originally manufactured by several companies in the 1950s, the Bullet Planter (2011) was never trademarked, and its designer never identified. One version of the story attributes its creation to a resourceful man who worked for a company that produced satellite dishes. When he brought one home, his wife found it made a perfect planter. This planter is still made from durable, compression-molded fiberglass, perched atop a tripod of powder-coated steel. Made in U.S.A.
