The REN flagship plant store has been designed by NOSIGNER as a retail location operated by a team of greenery caretakers that provides a dedicated location for plants to be displayed, supported and more.
The interior space of the location features a series of suspended shelves for plants to be positioned on where they are given the right amount of space to grow and receive care. The space puts a focus on adaptability to change according to the needs of the specific plants that are present in the area.
The REN flagship plant store is focused on restoring the relationship that we have to plants, which was described by the proprietors: "Ornamental plants brought in to create a pseudo-natural atmosphere in indoor spaces are not adapted to the environment and are therefore weak and often die. While we need ornamental plants, we also have a distorted relationship with them as part of our ecosystem."
