8.5.14 | Woodridge, IL | New Product Introduction: Say goodbye to tired, ordinary planters; say “good day” to KYO.  Unique-design funnel-shaped self-watering plant pots replace the customary shapes you grew-up with.  Now they become their own design elements, adding new-found convenience, color selection and durability to interior/exterior plantings.

Design: Joan Gaspar, industrial designer.

Manufacturer: Made Design of Barcelona, Spain. Distributed throughout North America exclusively by Magnuson Group, founded 1984.

Product Applications: KYO is ideally suited for a broad range of high-or moderate-traffic public and private interior/exterior spaces.  These comprise corporate and governmental offices, transportation terminals, healthcare and hospitality facilities, retail stores, schools and universities.

Product Description: KYO is immediately characterized by its solid-color funnel-shapes in two sizes, each with brushed-steel support post and square base. 

Construction & Finishes: KYO self-watering planters are constructed of rotational-molded, largely recycled polyethylene for its funnel-shaped plant and soil holder.  Roto-molding facilitates a product of uniform wall thickness and strength.  Parts previously made from multiple pieces can now be one.  A double-bottom portion of the planter contains porous ceramic that keeps soil moist after watering. 

KYO-1 stands 17 5/16-inches high, 15 3/4-inches diameter with a 15 3/4-inch-square base. KYO-2 stands 22 7/16-inches high, 15 3/4-inches diameter with a 15 3/4 -inch square base.  KYO’s integral water fill-cap is anodized aluminum. Both models are available in low-gloss Anthracite Grey, Black, Mustard, Terracotta or White.
