Toy-Inspired Planters

Andreea Cornila is the brainpower behind the CMF planter. Inspired by Richard James' classic toy, the Slinky, the Bucharest-based designer pays homage to the childhood symbol with her planter stand. Shaped like a vertical coiled spring, the CMF can be used as a floating stand for plants or a sleek side table with a matte surface.


Each hand-spun planter is made from a single sheet of aluminum. The spring itself is made from an elastic type of steel. Available in various height springs, the organic and timeless design boasts a light gradient paint job, suitable for indoor and outdoor setups. Cornila explains that "the shape and motion of the Slinky toy fascinate me, as it offers a multitude of expressive silhouettes."
