Planter Box – MDF Wood, High-Gloss Black

Product description

Plantenbak – North Dakota shiny black is a tall, rectangular indoor planter box made from MDF wood with a hand-applied high-gloss lacquer finish. Its clean lines and deep black surface suit modern, pared-back interiors, while the generous length makes it practical for creating a green divider with a row of plants. Designed for indoor use, it works best when used with an inner cover to protect the lacquer and make planting easier.

The design is intentionally architectural: straight edges, a slim profile, and a smooth, reflective surface that reads calm rather than decorative. The glossy lacquer is built up in multiple layers, applied by hand, which gives the planter an even finish and subtle depth as the light shifts across it. In the image, the planter has crisp corners and a minimal rim—details that keep the form visually quiet even at a larger scale.

A practical detail is the additional inner bottom positioned 22.5 cm from the top. This reduces the amount of soil needed and helps keep the planted area closer to the rim for a tidy look—especially useful when styling with smaller indoor plants or when you want a full, dense top line without filling the entire body with substrate.

Why this product stands out

This planter is a considered alternative to lighter plastic planters or outdoor-grade metal troughs used indoors. The MDF construction allows for sharp geometry and a seamless look, while the multi-layer lacquer creates a smooth surface that is easy to wipe clean. The raised inner base is a functional advantage: you use less soil, the planter is easier to manage, and plant tops sit at a more visible height—ideal when the planter is used to structure a space.

How it works in the home

With its height and long, narrow footprint, North Dakota is well suited to places where you want greenery without losing floor space. Place it:

• as a room divider between dining and living zones in open-plan layouts
• along a wall behind a sofa to add plants at eye level
• in a hallway or entrance where a slim planter keeps circulation clear
• beside large windows to line up multiple plants in one clean container
• in offices or studios to create a calm boundary without heavy furniture

For planting, an inner cover is recommended to protect the lacquer from moisture and to make it easier to lift plants out for maintenance.
