Nacre Planter is a modular series of outdoor planters pairing cutting edge technology with local history. A follow up on the Nacre Seats launched at Dubai Design Week 2020, it is a collaboration between London-based designers HagenHinderdael and Dubai-based 3D-printed concrete specialists Concreative.

Available as a mix-and-match series of three heights – the modular planters can be arranged in varying configurations. The shape itself is constructed of hexagonal platelets that interlock, rotate, and penetrate. Together creating a structure of extraordinary strength and flexibility, that resembles the structure
of the mother of pearl and speaks to the heart of Dubai’s pearl trade.

The platelets are made of 3D printed concrete with intricate textures, resulting in a constellation of sculptural outdoor planters that allow for a variety of configurations.
