Bolo Wall or Ceiling Hanging Planter in Black and Brass by Umbra
Spring plant season arrives and suddenly every windowsill in the house is spoken for. Bolo is the answer for anyone who has run out of surfaces, lifting greenery up into the air where it has room to trail. Designed by Umbra, Bolo pairs a softly rounded matte black bowl with a warm brass accent and a simple rope drop. It reads as sculptural without being loud, which is why it settles just as easily into a pared-back room as a layered, plant-filled one. Mount it on the wall beside a window, or drop it from the ceiling in a corner that needs height. The full Umbra range carries the same restraint if you are building a look room by room. How does it hang? Bolo mounts to either a wall or a ceiling, and everything you need is in the box: rope, hooks, hanging hardware and instructions. Adjust the rope to set the drop wherever suits the space. Most people have it up inside ten minutes. Which plants suit it best? Small, shallow-rooted plants are happiest here. Succulents, air plants, sedum, string of pearls and compact trailing greenery all sit beautifully. If you would rather not think about watering at all, a trailing stem from our faux plants collection gives the same effect year round. What size is it? The bowl measures 18.7cm wide and 16.2cm tall, with a total hanging length of 115.6cm and a weight of 1.25kg. As a gift, Bolo lands well for the person who has just moved into a small flat, the plant lover who has run out of shelf space, and anyone whose bathroom or bedroom needs a little life. It makes a considered housewarming present, an easy Mother's Day pick, and a good choice for a first home or a milestone birthday when you want something useful that still looks like a design object. Pair it with a small pot from our planters and pots range for a complete gift. For more on bringing greenery indoors, our guide to cactus, air plants and tropicals is a good place to start.
