Nilsson Vintage Stone Outdoor Planter

Regular price $75.00
Description

Once a fixture in kitchens and apothecaries from Asia to Africa to the Americas, this vintage stone vessel began its life as a hardworking mortar—crushing herbs, spices, and grains for daily rituals. Carved from solid stone and shaped by countless hands over the centuries, each piece carries its own quiet history in subtle variations of size, patina, and surface markings.

Today, it’s ready for a new role. Use it as a vintage planter for succulents or herbs, place it as a sculptural accent on a shelf, or let it stand alone as a simple statement of texture and time. With raw edges and a natural finish, it’s proof that true character never needs embellishment.

Our founder's story

More Than Just Beautiful Things

At Hello Norden, we’re not here to sell trends. We’re here to help you create spaces that feel like you. Spaces that calm your body, support your nervous system, and tell a story you recognize as your own.

Every piece we offer—vintage, made-to-order, or newly crafted—is chosen for how it feels, not just how it looks.

Founder Kassina Folstad spent 22 years designing spaces and studying how environments impact the body. That led to the creation of the RUTED Method—a science-backed, story-rich approach to design that’s changing the way we think about home.
