Inspired by a demand from clients, architects and landscape designers both domestic and commercial, Ben Schurmann of LIANZ and business partner, Lee Lawson established Bentleigh By Design in late 2005 to design and manufacture the essence of style and balance in a range of handcrafted garden planters suited to a wide variety of both indoor and outdoor locations.

Bentleigh By Design’s personalized and professional design team service offers a significant choice of standard designs or will custom manufacture to the individual client’s requirements. With design limited only by your imagination, these lightweight planters serve equally well as a landscaping focal point or as a subtle background accessory.

Constructed of lightweight polystyrene and utilizing the latest in solid plaster technology, Bentleigh By Design offers customers a choice of textured or smooth finishes to accentuate the form and meld into their chosen landscape setting, be it contemporary or classical. Completely waterproof for indoor applications, Bentleigh By Design planters are equally at ease in the office foyer or on inner city apartment balconys where space is often at a premium and portability of the product is paramount.
