Coolcapitals Skyline Submitted by Diane Lee Designer's Statement: "Each of the 5 cities have such unique and rich cultural histories. I was inspired to create a "CoolCapitals Skyline" consisting of famous buildings from each capital. I carefully chose buildings that represent not only the city's architecture but also its history, arts, music and religion: Rijksmuseum--Amsterdam, The Grote Markt--Antwerp, Escola Pia--Valencia, Burgtheater--Vienna, Fraumünster--Zürich. The skyline of these beautiful and historic buildings are contrasted with simple, clean lines and text. My goal was to convey a complementary combination of old world and modern design elements."

Loll Designs’ planters are made by the company’s signature 100-percent post-consumer recycled plastic from used milk jugs. Designed to withstand the elements, the planter also was created to encourage drainage, with its joinery made to allow water to escape through its edges. Available in black, sky, white, chocolate, leaf, and apple.
