Leheriya

Leheriya, from the word leher meaning wave, traces its origins to Rajasthan where flowing patterns are created through a traditional resist dyeing technique. Long associated with celebration and movement, its lines carry a sense of rhythm and continuity. This wall planter carries that same spirit. Its flowing stripes bring a sense of movement even in stillness, gently holding greens or blooms as they grow and shift with time.

Crafted in lac, a natural resin secreted on trees by insects without harming them, these planters embody sustainability. Lac hardens over time yet remains resilient; when used as a vase or planter, the natural moisture helps it maintain balance and humidity. Minimal care is needed — just gentle handling and an occasional wipe with a soft cloth.

If broken, lac returns to the earth, leaving no trace behind — making each piece not only beautiful but also fully biodegradable.
