A pair of upturned iron umbrellas hung as wall planters, finished in chippy distressed cream that catches the light from a salvaged stable yard.
Parapluie is a set of two iron wall planters shaped like open umbrellas turned upside down, ready to hold a fern, a trailing vine, dried branches or a bouquet of foraged stems. Each planter hangs from a long curved black iron handle styled like an umbrella crook, so the whole piece reads instantly as the object it references. The chippy distressed cream paintwork over dark iron lets the worn metal show through in spots, giving every surface the look of something pulled from a forgotten Provençal garden shed.
The set includes one larger umbrella at 35 cm wide and 54 cm tall (including the hook handle) and one smaller umbrella at 29 cm wide and 40.5 cm tall. Hung as a pair on a hallway wall, a covered verandah, a kitchen splashback corner or a conservatory, they make a quietly whimsical statement that photographs beautifully from any angle.

The Parapluie set is built to be hung as a pair. A few ways to bring them into the home.
Stylist's Tip Hang the larger umbrella roughly 15 to 20 cm lower than the smaller one, slightly offset, so the two hooks sit at different heights. The asymmetry reads as collected rather than matched, which is the whole point of a set like this.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. If using as a planter with live plants, place a plastic pot insert inside the iron rather than potting directly, both to protect the chippy finish and to make watering manageable. Suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use, but bring under cover during extended wet weather to preserve the paintwork.
Two. The Parapluie is sold only as a set of two, one larger umbrella (35 × 15.5 × 54 cm) and one smaller (29 × 11.5 × 40.5 cm). You receive both for the listed price, designed to hang together as a pair.
The long curved iron handle at the top works like an umbrella crook, hooking over a standard picture hook, a screw or a nail in the wall. No special mounting hardware is required, and no holes need to be made in the planter itself.
We recommend using a plastic pot insert that fits inside the umbrella rather than potting soil directly into the iron. This protects the chippy paintwork from moisture and makes it easy to lift the plant out for watering. Faux plants and dried branches can sit directly inside without an insert.
Yes, in sheltered outdoor spaces such as a covered verandah, conservatory or pergola. For exposed outdoor placement, bring under cover during extended wet weather to preserve the aged paintwork. Indoor use is also lovely, particularly in a hallway, kitchen or laundry.
No. The chipped and worn areas across both umbrellas are part of the design, deliberately hand-finished to read like salvaged metal. Each set is finished individually so the pattern of distressing varies slightly between pieces.
Because the Parapluie set is hand-finished, slight variations in paintwork, distressing pattern, and the depth of the cream-over-iron contrast are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
