Planter – Lacquered MDF, Matte Black
Product description
Plantenbak – North Dakota matte black is a tall, rectangular indoor planter designed to bring structure to modern interiors. Made from MDF wood and finished with a hand-applied lacquer, it has a calm, matte black surface and crisp edges that suit Scandinavian and contemporary spaces. With its generous length and height, it works well for planting a row of greenery, creating subtle zoning in open-plan rooms, or adding privacy without building permanent partitions.
The design is deliberately minimal: straight lines, a slim profile, and an even black finish that pairs easily with light woods, stone, stainless steel, and neutral textiles. The planter has an integrated additional bottom (false base) positioned 22.5 cm from the top. This reduces the amount of soil needed, keeps the planting weight more manageable, and makes it easier to style with indoor plants while maintaining a clean, tall silhouette.
As MDF is a wood-based material, this planter is intended for indoor use only. For planting, use a watertight inner pot or liner to protect the lacquered surface and avoid moisture exposure. This also makes it easier to lift plants out for watering and maintenance.

Why this product stands out
The North Dakota planter is built for interiors where both function and proportion matter. The tall format gives plants visual presence at eye level, while the narrow depth keeps the footprint controlled—useful in apartments, hallways, and along dining areas. The false bottom is a practical detail: it supports planting without filling the entire height with soil, which can help when you want a long planter look without excessive weight.
The matte black lacquer adds definition without glare. It reads as quiet and architectural, and it stays visually stable next to natural materials and soft colours—ideal if you prefer a restrained palette and long-lasting styling.
How it works in the home
Place it behind a sofa to define the seating zone, along a dining table to create a gentle boundary, or in a hallway to guide flow while adding greenery. It also suits windows without taking up too much space, and it can be used to frame a balcony door (indoors) or soften a straight wall line. For an ordered look, choose plants with an upright habit (such as sansevieria, zamioculcas, or grouped grasses in inner pots) and keep the top line consistent.
