Porir Wooden Pedestal - Blue

This blue wooden ornament is a small pedestal: a flat rectangular top raised on four chunky legs that splay gently outwards, made from 100% reclaimed wood with a painted finish. It measures 30cm long, 18cm wide and 24cm tall, a size that lifts a plant, a vase or a favourite object clear of the floor or a tabletop and gives it a little presence. Reclaimed timber has lived a working life before, and here it shows: the top carries scratches, small holes and worn grain under the blue, so the surface reads as weathered and characterful rather than factory smooth.

The maker gives a maximum load of 10KG, which makes it a display stand rather than a seat. In a living room it can raise a potted plant towards the light by a window; on a sideboard or a console it gives a single vase or sculpture its own small stage; beside a bed it holds a short stack of books and a framed photograph. It is low enough to sit on the floor in a hallway or a reading corner without crowding the space, and compact enough to fit on a deep shelf or a wide windowsill. It suits anyone who likes a room built from a few honest, well-used materials.

It is made entirely of reclaimed wood and finished in paint that follows the grain rather than hiding it, so the texture of the old timber stays visible across the top and down each leg. At 2.2KG it is easy to carry from room to room whenever you rearrange. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, the blue looks best against warm, natural tones: put it beside pale plaster, raw wood or terracotta, and let one well-chosen piece stand on top rather than filling the surface.

What material is it?

It is made from 100% reclaimed wood with a painted blue finish, so marks, small holes and grain from the timber's earlier life show through the paint.

How much weight can it hold?

The maker gives a maximum load of 10KG, so it is made for display: a potted plant, a vase or a few books rather than a seat.

How big is it?

It measures 30cm long, 18cm wide and 24cm tall, and it weighs 2.2KG, so it is easy to move between rooms, shelves and windowsills.

Does it need assembling?

The maker supplies assembly instructions as a PDF download, so you can read through the steps in advance and have everything ready.

Can I use it as a plant stand?

Yes. Raising a potted plant is one of its best uses, as long as the plant and pot together stay within the maker's maximum load of 10KG.
