Air Plant Shelf + Pot

One piece. A quiet beginning.

The Air Plant Shelf + Pot is a modern wall planter — a single, sculptural piece designed to bring architecture, warmth, and life to the walls most home decor overlooks. It's the simplest way to start a Braid & Wood moment, and the easiest piece to fall for.

Each Air Plant Shelf + Pot is a study in restraint: a perfect circle of powder-coated steel, a hand-finished leather strap, and a linear shelf carved from solid white ash hardwood with a mini terra cotta pot at its center.

On its own, it's a quiet focal point — above a desk, beside a doorway, or anywhere a blank wall could use a touch of life. Hang a few together, and that single piece becomes a rhythm.

The Air Plant Shelf + Pot is yours to make complete. Choose your colorway, and decide what brings it to life.

• Add a hand-selected live air plant (Tillandsia Velutina) (optional).
• Add a set of custom Diamond Wall Hooks for a mounting solution that actually matches the design (optional).

Thinking beyond just one? The Air Plant Shelf + Pot Duo and Trio bundle two or three pieces together at a better per-piece price.

This is where it starts. One beautifully made piece, modern wall decor, and considered design, scaled to whatever your space needs.

Modern wall decor for every room of your home:

•       Living room decor — above a sofa, console, or reading nook

•       Bedroom decor — over the bed or beside a dresser

•       Bathroom decor — air plants love the humidity

•       Dining room decor — a quiet alternative to art

•       Entryway decor — a warm first impression

•       Home office decor — a touch of life beside the desk

•       Hallways, nooks, and the in-between walls that deserve more

Start with one. Make it your own.

Every Air Plant Shelf + Pot arrives ready to style, with one thoughtfully designed piece at its core:

Designed to last. Made to be lived with.

Your Air Plant Shelf + Pot is crafted from solid white ash hardwood, small-batch made, and finished by hand. With a little care, they're built to grow more beautiful with time.

A few simple notes from our studio:

• Keep your piece indoors. The white ash and leather details are made for interior styling, not the elements.

• When it's time to water or mist your air plant, lift it out of the mini pot. Our pieces are water-resistant, not waterproof. It's a small ritual that protects the finish for years to come.

For everyday upkeep, a soft cloth is all you need. Once in a while, a light pass of hardwood furniture polish brings the grain back to life and deepens the wood's natural dimension.

Treat it well, and it do the same for your space.

Lush plants, delivered with confidence.

An air plant is an optional add-on to your Air Plant Shelf. Add one, and you'll receive a live Tillandsia Velutina - hand-selected for their soft, silvery foliage and sculptural form. They arrive ready to display, no soil or fuss required.

ONE SIZE ONLY:
10 inch inner ring diameter
12 inch outer ring diameter
Wood Shelf: 8.75" L x 2.75" D

2 inch center hole for included terra cotta pot.

Four materials. Chosen with intention.

Every Air Plant Shelf is composed of solid white ash hardwood, powder-coated steel, full-grain leather, and terra cotta.

Each material was chosen for the way it catches light, holds shape, and adds quiet dimension to a wall.

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.

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.

Powder-Coated Steel

The signature circular frame is formed from solid steel, then powder-coated in a smooth timeless finish that holds its color and depth over time.

The result is a clean, architectural silhouette. Sculptural, precise, and softened by the curve.

Full-Grain Leather

The small leather strap at the top of each hanger is where craftsmanship meets quiet detail. Full-grain leather develops a richer patina with time, adding a subtle handmade quality to a design that is otherwise modern and refined.

Terra cotta

There's a reason terra cotta has held plants for centuries. Each mini pot is fired from natural clay, giving it a warm, earthen tone and a softly porous surface that lets air plants breathe. It's the most elemental material out of the four. Hand-finished, quietly tactile, and a grounding counterpoint to the wood and steel. No two pots take the finish in exactly the same way, so each one carries its own subtle character.

Designed by Jenn Braidwood

Every curve, joint, and proportion is the result of a founder-led design process.

Drawn, refined, and prototyped in our San Diego studio before being produced in small batches by our trusted manufacturing partners.

The materials are not incidental. They are the design.
