About

01

Material

1.1

Developed specifically for plants, the stone composite is porous and breathable to support healthy growth over time.

1.2

Like natural stone, the surface responds to water and develops a richer patina over time.

2.1

Each piece begins with the plant. Its form, texture and growth habit influence the vessel design.

2.2

Each vessel is shaped entirely by hand, allowing the final form to emerge through the making process.

3.1

Consult

Consultations, site visits and custom proposals help ensure each work is suited to its environment.

3.2

Support

Every plant includes a detailed care guide, with ongoing support available from the studio.

Journal

The DORMANCY PHASE

As the days grow shorter, many plants turn inward, slowing their growth in preparation for the season of rest. Foliage may thin or fall away entirely, revealing a more minimal form that quietly awaits the longer days of spring.
