Inspired by nature, shaped by steam, curated by you. Sustainably designed and handcrafted in South Cornwall, Tom Raffield designs are synonymous with nature; each product is handcrafted with care and attention to detail.

Putting the power of creativity in the hands of the gardener, the Mantol’s elevated earthenware vessel can be tilted upon its base allowing optimum light levels to reach your foliage. Rooted by a graceful steam bent hoop of sustainably sourced oak, Raffield’s newest design is a natural beauty.

Creating evocative interiors through sustainable pieces of art, the organic design works effortlessly as a floor planter or as a table-top wonder. Enlivening interiors with its sleek silhouette and playful personality, the Mantol offers biophilic abundance.

Overflowing with artisanal appeal, Tom Raffield’s newest tilting planter is a welcome home for thriving houseplants, homegrown vegetables, or statement succulents. Summoning nature inside, the Mantol Planter encourages bold greenery to brighten up homes this Autumn.

A play of balance, the Mantol Planter’s beauty lies in its simplicity.

Marrying the Earthenware pot and steam bent hoop, Tom Raffield has created a timeless, natural, colour pallet. The new portable planter can be carried throughout homes for seasons of treasured memories.
