MCM Spun Fiberglass Hourglass Pedestal Planter in the Style of Russell Woodard

An elegant Mid-Century Modern spun fiberglass pedestal planter in the style of Russell Woodard. Featuring a graceful hourglass silhouette with a flared rim and intricate open lattice weave, this sculptural piece has been professionally restored and refinished in crisp white. Ideal for displaying plants indoors or out, it also makes a striking decorative accent on its own. The lightweight yet durable spun fiberglass construction embodies the iconic craftsmanship and organic design associated with classic mid-century outdoor furniture.

The Woodard Furniture Company pioneered the commercial application of woven fiberglass strings to create sculptural, lightweight patio sets. Managed by Russell Woodard alongside his brothers Lyman and Joseph, the firm capitalized on the post-war enthusiasm for innovative synthetic materials. While the company did not typically apply physical labels or tags to these spun fiberglass models, the precise hourglass geometry and distinct fretwork pattern make it distinct to the company.
