GARDEN DESIGN
UNIQUE AND HANDCRAFTED POTS AND PLANTERS
Torc make everything by hand from their studio in the British Isles .
Working alongside a talented team of artisans this family run business really specializes in textures , scale and especially bespoke design . The design side of the business is getting busier all the time with landscape architects and garden designers alike realizing just how much expertise this company has to offer with a wealth of experience in design and problem solving to bring to the table . Torc welcome the opportunity be involved at the design stage and are happy to contribute ideas when asked . Frequently being commissioned to provide planter designs and outdoor furniture as a one-off template for both commercial and residential spaces .
Launching their new contemporary shaped water bowl this month was a good example of how far they can go – the diameter of this little beauty can be offered up to 3m wide .
Torc are constantly striving to reduce the carbon footprint of their pots and planters . An extremely durable product , long-lasting and similar in texture to a traditional clay pot . However , these pots are not being cured by using vast amounts of energy in ovens or furnaces but by hydration ! Many other measures are being implemented at Torc to ensure their green credentials are as good as they can be including using recycled glass , rainwater capture and a recently installed wash-bay reclamation system . Not to mention using fully recycled bio-plastic made from bamboo for their packaging .
There is no doubt that this team are one to watch for the future … is there anything they can ’ t do ? Torc appear to be just warming up !
