Description
The Urchin pot / planter by the brand 101 Copenhagen stands out for its organic and textured aesthetic, inspired by marine forms and natural structures. Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl, it follows an approach where nature becomes a true design language. Its rounded silhouette is covered with a multitude of regular reliefs that evoke the surface of a sea urchin. This repetitive pattern creates a rich and expressive texture, giving the object a strong, almost sculptural presence. Despite its bold graphic character, the overall form remains soft and balanced, allowing it to integrate easily into different environments, both indoors and outdoors. The Urchin pot is available in two distinct finishes, offering different visual expressions depending on the desired atmosphere: one emphasizes the raw, mineral materiality of the surface, while the other plays with smoother, softer, and more subtle nuances, enhancing the interplay of light and texture. Designed as both a planter and a decorative object, it can hold plants while maintaining a strong sculptural presence even when empty. Through this piece, Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl once again explore the connection between nature and design, transforming an organic form into a contemporary object.
