Soma Planter Wood
Designed by Laurie Wiid van Heerden for Indigenus.
Soma is Greek for body, and Laurie Wiid van Heerden's design is inspired by the body of a tree: a curvaceous, trunk-like form that lifts plants up towards the light, with a band of warm timber as part of that trunk. With clean, rounded lines and immaculate finishes, Soma has become one of the most recognisable shapes in the Indigenus range.
Use Soma like a pillar along a long view, as a soft counterpoint to hard architectural lines, alone in a corner, or grouped in varying heights.

Built to last
- Self-watering liner with a water-level gauge. The reservoir can keep plants watered for up to four weeks.
- Glass reinforced concrete, around twenty times stronger than standard concrete yet lighter than a solid planter of the same size.
- Indoors or out: made to handle frost, heat and rain. Fit the plug indoors; remove it outdoors so rainwater tops up the reservoir.
- Soft-touch feet protect floors and carpets.
- Plants can be potted into the liner off-site, then dropped into the planter once it's in place.
The timber is FSC-certified Iroko (African teak), naturally rich in oils and resistant to rot and insects.
