Vegetation emerges from one of design’s most provocative symbols in the Skull planter by Teresa Sapey for Vondom. Instead of treating the vase as a neutral container, Sapey turns it into a visual statement: the unmistakable skull silhouette becomes the foundation for plants, leaves and flowers, creating an intriguing contrast between organic growth and sculptural geometry. Part of the Vases and Vaseholders category, the Vondom Skull planter is designed for spaces that embrace personality rather than anonymity. In a boutique hotel, private terrace or characterful interior, this skull shaped planter can function almost like an art piece, giving greenery a deliberately unconventional setting. The concept also opens interesting possibilities alongside the expressive furniture language of the Vondom modern Noma collection, where contrasting silhouettes can build interiors with a strong individual identity.

Built to Take Its Character Outdoors

Its appearance may be theatrical, but its construction is highly practical. Made from polyethylene, the Vondom Skull outdoor planter is 100% recyclable, shock resistant and suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. It withstands temperatures between -60°C and +80°C (-76°F to 176°F), while UV8 resistance corresponds to 8,000 hours of Florida sunlight. An integrated self-watering system adds functionality to the sculptural concept, making the Vondom Skull self watering planter easier to incorporate into hospitality and residential planting schemes. Across the Vondom collection, brown, black, white and ecru finishes allow very different interpretations of the same object. Three heights—43, 70 and 100 cm—expand those possibilities further: a compact version can punctuate a lounge, while a tall outdoor planter creates a much more imposing presence beside an entrance or across a landscaped terrace.

For Interiors That Are Meant to Be Remembered

Skull belongs to the Vondom vases collection, yet its personality moves beyond the traditional idea of a decorative container. Used alone, it becomes a statement planter; arranged in different heights, it can generate an installation of repeated forms and vegetation. This flexibility makes it especially relevant for designers seeking exclusive pieces for curated and high-end interiors, as well as for restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues that rely on distinctive visual storytelling. Imagine the sculptural planter marking the transition toward a terrace furnished with Vondom iconic designer chairs, or appearing after sunset within a composition shaped by Vondom architectural lighting solutions. In each case, the object plays a different role rather than simply matching the surrounding furniture. As a designer outdoor planter or a dramatic sculptural planter for hospitality, the Vondom Skull Teresa Sapey design turns planting into an expressive component of the architecture.
