"planet's objective is to make the world a more beautiful place"

our surry hills showroom represents a store of creative energy from makers around australia who are committed to cultivating beauty. the tactile nature of natural raw materials, combined with handcrafting and limited batch production means that planet items have a unique quality and integrity. we aim to have items that make sense, from the materials that they are made of, the people who make them and the quality of the finished item. planet is a site where craft, design and fine art concepts often intersect. thoughtful objects add meaning and poetry to our lives.

ceramics
planet's ceramics come from a diverse and dynamic range of australian makers. collectable and museum quality work sit alongside studio production ware. the makers employ various porcelains, bone china, stoneware and found clay bodies. they utilise a range of surface treatments and making methods from throwing to slip-casting, slab building, pinch pots and coiled work. we always look for originality and planet has launched the careers of many leading australian ceramicists.
