We've been eying the minimal oak planters from Out-Standing in Belgium for a while now, so we took note when we spotted an eerily similar lookalike (at a fraction of the price) recently.
Above: Out-Standing's 21.5-inch-square Ortelius Straight Planter is about $1,800 and can be ordered through Trelliage in NY, March in SF, and Emily Joubert in Woodside, CA; call for exact pricing.
Above: Did the Vasari Planter from Out-Standing inspire Restoration Hardware's Reclaimed Oak Staccato Planter line?
Above: The 22-inch-square Reclaimed French Oak Staccato Planter is $420 (down from $495) at Restoration Hardware.
