Product code: SUPERCELL-PLANTER
A concrete planter with an organic, monolithic shape that blends into the landscape.
Supercell Planter was designed by Alex Fernández Camps. Its organic shape and monolithic feel allow the planter to blend into the landscape as if it had always been there. The smooth design, with no sharp edges at all, brings comfort and lightness, so the space can be used freely and without rigidity. The planter belongs to the Supercell family (Supercell S and Supercell L benches and the large Megacell), and its design is registered and protected at the European Union Intellectual Property Office.
The planter is made from through-coloured high-performance self-compacting concrete (HPC), so the colour and texture are uniform throughout. The surface is etched to expose fine 1–12 mm white, black and grey granite chips – the planter looks like natural stone. The entire surface is finished with a hydrophobic and anti-graffiti coating.

Squares, parks, public gardens and pedestrian zones, office and residential courtyards – places where you want soft, organically shaped islands of greenery.
Delivering and positioning a 600 kg planter requires lifting equipment, so plan its location in advance. The planter can be combined with Supercell benches from the same series – together they create coherent green rest islands.
Concrete planters are heavy and stable, with a stone chip finish, so they also work as a natural barrier to traffic. Cor-Ten steel planters are much lighter, with modern shapes and a warm brownish tone, and go well with wood, concrete and greenery. Choose according to whether the planter needs to restrict traffic or mainly decorate the surroundings.
Concrete planters stand firmly without any fixings thanks to their weight. Cor-Ten planters are lighter, but they weigh much more when filled with soil. In locations exposed to wind, place tall, narrow planters on a level base, choose plants that are not too tall, or fix them to a wall.
Plants need drainage so that the roots do not stand in water. Put a layer of gravel at the bottom and a suitable growing medium on top. Cor-Ten planters have drainage holes in the bottom, so excess water drains away by itself.
A stable rust patina forms on the surface of Cor-Ten steel, protecting the metal and giving it a brownish tone. For the first few months, until the patina stabilises, the planter may leave brownish marks on light-coloured paving. So at first it is better to place it on darker surfacing or where such marks will not matter.
Yes, heavy concrete planters are often used to separate a pedestrian zone from the roadway and prevent cars from driving onto the pavement. Long planters are suitable for enclosing café terraces or small areas. This restricts traffic while also decorating the surroundings with greenery.
Concrete planters are heavy, so it is worth planning their location in advance – moving them later would be difficult. They are delivered and positioned with lifting equipment, and the largest models require a crane. The exact weight of each planter is stated in the product's technical data.
Yes. Concrete planters can be matched with concrete benches and waste bins in the same finish, while Cor-Ten planters go well with wooden equipment. Some planters belong to the same series as benches, so the space looks coherent.
