While from the same Deccan Collection as Vittala, Hampi’s form is significantly wider and lower than Vittala. This means Hampi can take larger, fuller plants — it has the volume for a generous Ficus, a sprawling Monstera, a lush herb cluster.
Noir is Hampi at its most elemental. The matte stone-grey body and gloss black rim remove every decorative concession — what remains is pure geometry, volume, and shadow. The plant is not decoration here; it is the counterpoint. Choose pale, bright, or dramatically textured foliage — the composition only resolves when the green answers the dark. For spaces that have already committed to a point of view.
Large: 35.5cm dia × 26cm H · Medium: 26.5cm dia × 22cm H · Small: 20cm dia × 17cm H
Care & Drainage: Indoor and covered outdoors only (no direct exposure to rain or harsh light). Single base drainage hole. For succulents, add a gravel layer at the base or drop in a nursery pot. For moisture-loving plants, plant directly with well-draining potting mix. Wipe clean with damp cloth; keep from standing water and direct rain. Decorative jute handle — lift from base only

Beena’s Curating Tips
The non-negotiable: the plant must earn its place against Noir. Pale, structural, or dramatically textured foliage only — a standard green plant in Hampi Noir is a missed opportunity every time.
The Large at 35.5cm flanking a hotel entrance or restaurant threshold in Noir is a design decision that requires no explanation and no budget for anything else in that space.
The matte body absorbs light while the gloss black rim reflects it — place Noir in spaces with directional or spot lighting to activate this contrast fully.
The Small in Noir with a single Echeveria ‘Black Prince’ on a white desk is precision styling. Don’t add anything around it.
For B2B pitches: lead with Large Noir + White Anthurium. It photographs in three seconds and closes in five minutes.
