The Boorn Planter forms part of the Moort collection, designed as a grounded landscape element that supports growth, gathering, and the integration of living material within the built environment. Drawing from the idea of boorn as place or space, the planter is conceived as a quiet architectural vessel that anchors public and private landscapes while allowing planting to take prominence.
Developed through a process of clarity and restraint, The Boorn Planter is defined by its strong geometry and balanced proportions. Its form is intentionally reduced, allowing it to operate as a single object or as part of a larger modular arrangement. Designed to accommodate a range of planting types, the planter brings softness to hard landscapes while reinforcing the relationship between architecture, vegetation, and place.
Manufactured in Australia in collaboration with Tait, The Boorn Planter is made to order using high performance, exterior grade materials suited to Australian outdoor environments. Finished in a durable powder coat, it is designed for longevity, low maintenance, and flexibility across site conditions. Suitable for civic, commercial, residential, and landscape applications, The Boorn Planter performs as both functional infrastructure and a considered spatial element.

At Moort Designs, we make products for life. Our products are crafted from high-performance materials designed to withstand the elements across our diverse Australian climate zones. We make design decisions with both form and function in mind, combining timeless and cutting-edge designs with beautiful finishes in order to elevate your outdoor (or indoor) experience.
Our collections are handcrafted from weather-resistant materials, making each piece a durable choice. In order to maintain their look and feel over time, Moort items need ongoing care and maintenance. The frequency of maintenance will vary depending on the level of care you want to provide, your personal standards and requirements as well as the environment within which the product lives.
Please refer to the care instructions relevant to the specific materials and finishes of your product, and take note of the warranty details to understand the parameters.

CARE + MAINTENANCE
Stainless steel is the top quailty in terms of anti-corrosion, longevity and lower-than-low-maintenance. Here at Moort Designs we use both Electropolished 304 and Fired 304 stainless steel. Looking after it is an easy task.
DO:
Wash your stainless steel pieces regularly with soapy water and a clean cloth
Use a non-abrasive cream cleaner or commercial cleaner for more stubborn marks
Clean in one direction along the original polish lines
DO NOT:
Use steel wool, scourers or metallic scrapers
Allow dirt to accumulate
Using abrasive cleaners on the Fired finish may remove the surface colouring
A WORD ON TEA-STAINING
In a salty sea-air environment, stainless steel can be prone to “tea-staining” (usually within 5km of the surf), recognisable by surface discolouration caused by a build-up of environmental elements.Tea-staining is no cause for alarm as it is purely cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the material. An electro-polished finish will reduce the occurrence of tea staining, but should it occur, it will clean right off with hot soapy water and a bit of elbow grease.

CARE + MAINTENANCE
Wash regularly with warm soapy water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. For commercial, industrial or marine environments we recommend monthly maintenance. Always rinse well with water, to remove any remaining detergent.
Avoid steam cleaning, pressure washing, abrasive cleansers, steel brushes/wools and cleaners containing chlorine. Avoid scratching the surface by dry dusting. Never use strong solvents to clean powder coated surfaces. Aggressive solvents such as turpentine, white spirits, thinners, citrus based cleaners, Spray and Wipe, and other aggressive solvents are harmful to the extended life of the powder coated surface. Do not allow detritus, organic or man-made matter to settle on the product surface. We recommend removing any buildup of mineral deposits leaching from soils and fertilisers, should it occur on Moort’s planters.
Rough treatment of powder-coated furniture can result in chipping of the coated surface.
Touch-up paint may be purchased on request. It is advisable to repair minor nicks and scratches as soon as they appear.
