Artek’s Riihitie pots carry a calm, earthy tone

The iconic Riihitie pots were originally designed by Aino Aalto to decorate the patio of the Aaltos’ family home in Helsinki. Named after the home-street of Alvar and Aino Aalto, the timeless, fluid shape of hand-made pots emits the Aaltos’ strong connection to nature.

Group plants together using different sizes and shades of the Riihitie pot to form an eye-catching yet relaxed ensemble.

The Riihitie pots do not feature a drainage hole so when planting, it is best to add a layer of gravel or expanded clay at the bottom to avoid roots from sitting in stagnant water.
