Design salad and herb pots

Florist Jan-Dirk von Hollen uses his creativity and flair for naturalness to make a trendy statement in the presentation of herbs and loose-leaf lettuce: He uses sheep's wool felt, wool string, raffia, jute and wooden elements to create stylish, rustic containers. A sustainable and natural solution for any garden centre, balcony or windowsill.

Loose leaf lettuce in a pot

This loose-leaf lettuce looks particularly original in the pot, which is covered in grey "RAW" felt. The original felt with bast fibres adds a rustic touch and the wooden element emphasises the natural charm.

Natural felt with bast fibres

The "RAW" felt adds an original and natural charm to the creative design of the pot, thanks to the subtly incorporated bast fibres.

Glass Bowl for Plant Pot

Invisible glass bowl

Jan-Dirk has placed the encased pot in a glass bowl. This way nothing can go wrong when watering and the natural and loose look of the felt is not disturbed by plastic coasters.

Herb garden in a pot

This herbpot is an eye-catcher. The grey-green pot harmonises with the loose-leaf salad pot. This handmade creation skilfully combines natural materials and creative design to create an attractive piece that is sure to catch the eye.

Wooden fence in herb pot

Miniature garden fence

Here Jan-Dirk has cleverly potted sage and rosemary, placing a charming little garden fence between the two herbs. The pieces of wood, natural with bark, are artfully held together by raffia and a STYLIT wool cord. This lovingly designed separating element gives the arrangement an additional rustic charm.

LETTUCE AND HERBS

The pieces are characterised by a natural colour palette that perfectly embodies the rustic and original. The iron grey of the RAW felt gives the pots a robust yet elegant look, while the natural tones of raffia and jute add a touch of authenticity.


The light and dark brown of the wood elements enhances the natural character of the arrangements and blends harmoniously with the fresh green of the herbs and plants. This balanced combination of materials and colours creates an inviting atmosphere that brings a sense of nature and originality to the fore. Each pot can and should have a slightly different effect, making each one unique and a stylish way to showcase the beauty of nature.
