# Revamped Traditional Planters The Herb Terracotta Pot Takes on a Geometrical Aesthetic By Meghan Young | Published 2011-05-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herb-terracotta-pot References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2011/05/herb-nick-fraser-reimagines-the-terracotta-pot-pic.html) & [nickfraser](http://www.nickfraser.co.uk/products/herb#6) I have to say that I have always been a fan of traditional planters because of the classic, clean look that they often portray, yet that doesn't mean I am at all opposed to the Herb terracotta pot. By re-imagining the [traditional terracotta pot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cottomilano), it gives it a fresh look without compromising its practical purpose or complementary existence. The Herb terracotta pot still acts as the perfect foil for the plant it holds. Designed by Nick Fraser, the Herb terracotta pot takes on a [geometric shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases) that makes it look more like some kind of clay rock. Due to its irregular shape, each pot looks different from the other, making them look handmade. The Herb terracotta pot is currently on display at London’s Clerkenwell Design Week. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Revamped Traditional Planters:** Opportunity for designers to reinvent traditional planters with fresh aesthetics while maintaining their functionality. - **Geometric-shaped Planters:** Growing demand for planters with irregular geometric shapes provides an opportunity for manufacturers to offer unique handmade designs. - **Personalized Planters:** Growing trend of customized planters presents an opportunity for businesses to offer personalized options to consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Design:** Designers can explore innovative ways to revamp traditional planters, integrating different materials and geometric shapes. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can tap into the demand for unique and personalized planters by offering handmade designs and customization options. - **Retail:** Retailers can cater to the growing trend of personalized planters by partnering with designers and manufacturers to offer a variety of customizable options to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Naturalistic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apot-selfwatering-planter.md) - [Gentle Slant Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-planter.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Self-Watering Compact Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patella-crescenda.md) - [Luxurious Minimalist Planter Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-planter-set.md) - [Chic Staggered Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staggered-planters.md) - [Terracotta Pot-Inspired Vietnam Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthenware-house.md) - [Virtual Pet Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pot-concept.md) - [Vertical Workstation Wall Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-wall-planter.md)
