Colorful Metal Dishes

The Desert Collection by Steel Life is Made Out of Salvaged Materials

Colorful and contemporary, with a slight hint of a retro element, The Desert Collection is made up of metal dishes for plants, fruits and just about anything else that can be rested in them. The clean lines and shallow bowl set it apart from traditional planters while the vibrant hues will make it stand out in any setting. This equates to a statement-making line that nevertheless doesn't overwhelm.

Designed by Steel Life, which was founded by landscape designer Shannon Lester, The Desert Collection is made up of four pieces: Atomic Mod Dish, Mezzo Mod Dish, Shallow Root Vessel and Loft Mod Dish. Each one is fashioned out of salvaged and upcycled metal, making them very eco-friendly.
