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.
Slate doesn’t announce itself. It simply occupies space with the confidence of a material that has nothing to prove. The matte graphite body makes the Vijayanagara lattice read as actual carved stone — the gloss rim catches light while the body absorbs it. This is the Hampi for rooms already designed with intent: stone floors, linen sofas, concrete walls. Plant it with silver or pale foliage and step back.
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, use a saucer indoor if necessary. 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 and refresh before each monsoon.

Beena’s Curating Tips
Slate is your B2B lead shade — for architects and hospitality clients, this is the shade that closes the room conversation without a single word of explanation.
The Large at 35.5cm on a polished concrete or stone floor with a ‘Moonshine’ Sansevieria is a complete design statement — nothing else needed in that corner.
Cool tones only, without exception — silver, white, blue-green. The moment warmth enters, Slate loses its authority.
The Small in Slate with an Echeveria ‘Blue Rose’ is your most precise desk composition — minimal, architectural, considered.
For commercial photography: shoot Slate exclusively against white walls and stone or concrete surfaces. Warm backgrounds dilute the effect entirely.
