Some objects are designed. Vittala feels discovered — as though it was lifted from a temple courtyard and given a second life on your shelf.

Basalt doesn’t announce itself. It simply occupies space with the confidence of a material that has nothing to prove. The cool silver-grey matte surface — flat and mineral, like the volcanic rock the Deccan plateau is built from — makes the Vijayanagara lattice read as actual carved stone. The gloss black rim catches light while the body absorbs it. This is Vittala for rooms already designed with intent: stone floors, linen sofas, concrete walls. Plant with silver or pale foliage and step back.

Large: 30cm dia × 23cm H · Medium: 23.5cm dia × 19cm H · Small: 18.5cm dia × 15cm H

Care & Drainage: Indoor and covered outdoors only (no direct exposure to rain or harsh light). Single base drainage hole. Wipe clean with damp cloth; keep from standing water and direct rain. Decorative jute handle — lift from base only. 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.

Beena’s Curating Tips

Basalt is your B2B lead shade — for architects and hospitality clients, this is the shade that closes the conversation without explanation.

The name earns its place: the Deccan plateau is one of the world’s largest basalt formations — this shade carries geological authenticity that no other name could.

Cool tones only, without exception — silver, white, blue-green. The moment warmth enters, Basalt loses its authority.

A single Vittala Basalt Medium on a concrete or stone surface with a ‘Moonshine’ Sansevieria needs nothing around it — restraint is the styling.

Today we visited MIDORI Garden Studio, Sadashiv Nagar, Belagavi, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The studio has a stunning variety of indoor plants and an equally beautiful collection of pots—each one thoughtfully chosen and aesthetically pleasing. What truly made the visit special was Mrs Beena, the owner. Her passion and knowledge are remarkable. She patiently explained not just which plants would suit our space, but also guided us in detail about their care and maintenance, making everything very easy to understand. What sets MIDORI Garden Studio apart is the personal touch. Ms. Beena and her team even came to our home and helped us set up the plants in our gallery. Their eye for design and placement transformed the space completely—the gallery now looks elegant, fresh, and welcoming. This is not just a plant studio; it’s a place where aesthetics, expertise, and genuine care come together. Highly recommended MIDORI Garden Studio, especially if you are looking for expert guidance and beautiful greenery to enhance your home.

Midori - like a monet painting. The minute you step into Midori - you know you’re in a special place. Everyone at Midori is a Bona fide green thumb. Lovely, healthy plants, perky leaves and stem, lush green colours everywhere - the plants are he heroes at Midori and the pots vases are the heroines. Beena and team have elevated the expectation of what a plant studio /plant House should look like.
