Lamb, an interior and product designer, fashions the planters from cast concrete. A hanging planter is especially interesting in such a heavy material, since they're ordinarily made from something light (like wicker or (gasp) macrame).
Lamb's terrariums are fascinating as well. Their hard-edged geometric shapes, made from powder-coated metal and glass, turn the somewhat romantic notion of a terrarium on its head. And the metal form "frames" the little landscape from many different angles, creating an intriguingly segmented view of what's going on inside.
You can find out more about these and Lamb's other products, as well as her interior design projects, on her site, which also has purchase info.

They look great, but not on their sides as shown in the first photo. Difficult to water and the plants still want to grow up, not at an angle. That said, they really enhance the sculptural feel of the succulents.
Not to mention the fact that watering them would mean watering the table they sit on.
I nearly sucked the air out of the, um, air, when I saw the above photos.
I recently decided to go with a modern succulent centerpiece for my coffee table, and was just doing some research yesterday about this subject. Will definitely be checking out the site link for these very cool planters.
I think you need to keep them horizontal for growing and watering, and tilt them for the photoshoot.
Not a good idea. Just... no.
