Product Details

Two stands. One composed space.

Most homes have two kinds of empty space: the corner on the floor that's too big to ignore, and the surface that's flat, useful, and quietly unfinished. The Arches + Nested Set answers both.

The Arches lifts a houseplant to eye level. At 34 inches tall, a pair of sculptural white ash arches, joined without hardware, holds a spun-aluminum vessel at the exact height where greenery meets the eye — scandi-inspired, quietly architectural, and tall enough to change a room.

The Nested finishes the surfaces. Set the vessel down into the wood for a low, composed look, or flip the wood over and set the vessel on top for a taller statement stand. Same piece, two entirely different silhouettes.

Together they give you three unique ways to style, and one cohesive look across your home. Group them in one room for a layered, high-and-low moment, or split them between a corner and a console.

The set arrives complete and ready to assemble:

  • 1 Arches Plant Stand
  • 1 Nested Plant Stand
  • 2 spun-aluminum vessels, each with a drainage hole and watertight plug
  • Protective felt footpads for the Arches
  • An assembly screw for the Nested

The one thing we leave to you is the plants — the fuller houseplants worth choosing yourself.

Designed by founder Jenn Braidwood and made in small batches, the Arches + Nested Set is for people who think of their plants as décor, not an afterthought.

A modern plant stand set for every room of your home:

  • Living room decor — the Arches in the empty corner, the Nested on the console or bookshelf
  • Entryway decor — a tall, sculptural welcome beside a console that finally looks styled
  • Bedroom decor — soft height in the corner, and greenery on the dresser
  • Home office decor — a calm vertical anchor just off-camera, and a living accent on the shelf behind you
  • Dining room decor — greenery lifted beside a window, and a sideboard moment that doesn't crowd the table

Stunningly versatile

1 Set 3 Ways To Style

Pair a floor piece with a surface piece. The Arches lifts one plant to eye level, and the Nested works two ways, so the set gives you three unique silhouettes.

  1. The Arches
    The Arches

    A tall floor piece that brings your plant up to eye level, at 10.75" wide and 34" tall with the pot.

  2. The Nested
    The Nested

    The vessel sits down inside the wood. The two forms read as one, low and composed, at 12" wide and 10" tall.

  3. The Stand
    The Stand

    Flip the Nested over and set the vessel on top. Narrower at 9" wide, taller at 18", and much more of a statement piece.

Same materials, three unique silhouettes. Style them together in one room or split them across your home.

Houseplant Care with the Arches & Nested

How to plant, and how to water

The spun-aluminum vessel has a small drainage hole at the base, fitted with a watertight plug, so you can plant your houseplant two ways.

Two ways to plant

Grow pot (recommended): Slip your plant, still in its nursery grow pot, directly into the vessel. No transplanting, no mess, and the easiest watering.

Direct planting: Fill the spun-aluminum vessel with potting soil, and plant your houseplant directly inside.

Watering with a grow pot

  1. Step 1 Lift the grow pot out of the vessel
  2. Step 2 Water at the sink, and let it drain for a few seconds
  3. Step 3 Slip it back into the vessel

Watering when planted directly

  • Lift & unplugLift the pot off the stand and remove the watertight plug from the bottom.
  • Water at the sinkWater the plant at the kitchen sink.
  • Let it drainLet the soil drain completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Replug & returnReplace the plug and return the pot to the stand.

A small ritual, either way, and the one that keeps your plants and your stands looking their best.
Product Care

Designed to last. Made to be lived with.

Your Arches and Nested Plant Stands are crafted from solid white ash hardwood, small-batch made, and finished by hand. With a little care, they're designed to grow more beautiful with time.

A few simple notes from our studio

  • Keep them indoorsLike all natural hardwood, white ash is happiest away from direct, prolonged sun and the damp of outdoor air. These are not outdoor products.
  • Water at the sink, not at the standLift the vessel off the stand before you water. See Houseplant Care with the Arches & Nested above for the simple method.
  • Dust the wood gentlyA soft, dry cloth is all it takes. Skip harsh cleaners, and once in a while a light pass of hardwood furniture polish brings the grain back to life.
  • Keep the felt pads in placeThey protect the Arches' feet and your floors, and they make repositioning effortless.

Natural hardwood mellows and deepens over the years. That gentle change is part of the character, not a flaw. Cared for simply, your stands are designed to be pieces you keep and enjoy for years.
Returns & Exchanges

Designed to be loved. Backed if it isn't.

If your Arches + Nested Set doesn't feel right in your space, you have 14 days from delivery to return or exchange it. Simple as that.

We design with craftsmanship, considered functionality, and longevity in mind. Our pieces are meant to live with you for years, not seasons. We want you to feel that the moment you unbox them.

Materials

Two materials. Chosen with intention.

Every Arches and Nested Plant Stand is composed of solid white ash hardwood and a spun-aluminum vessel.

Each material was chosen for the way it catches light, holds shape, and turns a houseplant into a piece of the room’s design.

Solid White Ash Hardwood

A North American hardwood prized for its pale, open grain and soft, natural tone. White ash takes finish beautifully and reveals a different pattern across every piece. No two are exactly alike. It’s the warmth in the design, the material that keeps the silhouette from ever feeling cold or industrial.

You'll feel the difference the moment you lift one. Solid hardwood has a real, substantial weight to it. The kind of presence you simply don't get from pine, plywood, MDF, or veneer. It's a quiet signal of quality, seen & felt simultaneously. 

Spun Aluminum Vessel

The pots paired with the Arches and the Nested are spun aluminum, not molded plastic or fragile, heavy ceramic. Spinning is an artisan metalworking process that shapes a single sheet of aluminum over a form, producing a seamless, lightweight vessel with a clean, modern silhouette.

It won’t crack if it’s knocked, it won’t chip at the rim, and its matte finish sits in quiet contrast against the warm wood. A small drainage hole at the base, fitted with a watertight plug, makes watering simple however you choose to plant.

The pot is included as standard — there’s nothing else to source.

4 Easy Steps. Just a Screwdriver.

Assembly Guide:

  • 01 - Unbox Both Stands

    Lift the panels out of each box and set them on a soft, flat surface. Remove the wooden spacer from the Arches channel and the screw from the Nested packaging.

  • 02 - Check Orientation & Slide Together

    Check the included assembly sheets to make sure each stand's panels are positioned in the correct orientation, then simply slide them together.

  • 03 - Felt Pads & Screw

    Press a felt pad onto the bottom of each Arches foot. For the Nested, drop the screw into the connecting hole and tighten it with a screwdriver.

  • 04 - Add Pots, Plants & Enjoy

    Decide how to style the Nested, nested or stand. Set each pot in place, settle your plants in, and step back and enjoy!

We've got the answers

Most Common Questions

How can the Nested be styled in two different ways?

The piece works upside down as well as right side up, and looks like a different object each way.

Nested | the vessel sits down inside the wood. The two forms read as one, low and composed, at 12" wide and 10" tall.

Stand | you flip the wood over and set the vessel on top. Narrower at 9" wide, taller at 18", and much more of a statement piece.

Same object, same materials, two unique silhouettes. Nested is the look most people start with; the stand version is there whenever you want more height.

Does the set include plants?

It doesn't and here's why:

We haven't figured out the best way to ship larger houseplants that look most striking in the Arches and the Nested. But, we are working on it, so stay tuned! For now pick them in person from a local nursery or plant shop.

Can I buy the stands without the pots?

We don't offer it that way and we'd argue that's in your favor.

Each pot was specifically designed for its stand, down to the curve where the two pieces meet. There's no pot on the market that will pair with these stands as perfectly as these do.

So, the vessels are included as standard rather than sold separately. There's nothing left to shop for after this. No hunting for a pot in the right diameter, no ordering two and returning one, no settling for something that's almost the right proportion. The piece arrives complete because it was designed to be that way.

What size houseplant fits in the Arches and the Nested?

A plant in an 8-inch grow pot is the sweet spot — sized to sit neatly inside each stand's spun-aluminum vessel. Anything much smaller and the plant gets lost inside the vessel. Anything larger and the grow pot won’t drop in.

If you find a bigger plant you can’t resist, plant it directly into the vessel using the direct-planting method in the Houseplant Care section above. But watch your scale.

Where’s the best place to buy houseplants for my stands?

A local, independent plant shop or nursery. Every time.

Plants at independent shops are typically tended to by people who actually know them: properly watered, properly lit, and chosen to thrive in your region. That care shows up in the plant you bring home. Healthier, hardier, and ready to settle into your stands without skipping a beat.

As a small business ourselves, we always prefer supporting fellow small businesses. Big-box stores can work in a pinch, but plants there have usually traveled further and sat in less attentive conditions before reaching the shelf.

Bonus: the staff at independent shops are some of the best resources you’ll find for picking the right plant for your space. Tell them you’re styling a plant stand, and they’ll point you in the right direction.

Jenn knows a ton of beautiful plant shops all over the country so feel free to email her at hello@braidandwood.com for a suggestion if you want one.

I have pets & kids. Will the Arches knock over easily?

Not in the course of ordinary life, no. But, we’ll be honest with you about what it is.

The Arches is solid white ash hardwood, and once a potted plant is settled into the vessel, the piece carries real weight. A passing bump, a brush from a tail, or someone squeezing by isn’t going to topple it.

That said, this is a designer piece, not a piece of gym equipment. A full-speed collision — a kid sprinting through the room, a dog rounding the corner at a gallop...will most likely bring it down.

Treat it the way you’d treat any beautiful decorative object: give it a spot outside the traffic pattern, where it isn’t getting bumped and knocked, and it will stay exactly where you placed it.

I'm not sure if this will work in my space. Can you help?

Absolutely. Send a photo of your space to hello@braidandwood.com and Jenn will personally write back with styling guidance - placement, spacing, plant pairings, and how to make your Arches & Nested feel like it belongs.

It's one of the quiet perks of buying from a founder-led studio.
