The flower pot is completely abandoned in the Plant Bondage collection; this series uproots lovely shrubs and arranges them in a floating fashion so that they become fascinating focal points in your home.
Instead of planters, rectangular frames are constructed from either brass, steel or ash wood, and these are set into timber bases with little white plates on top. A single cord hangs down from the top of each open prism, connecting to the base of the plant and causing it to dangle mid-air.
The collaboration between Light + Ladder, Farrah Sit, Taylor Patterson and Fox Fodder Farm is a project that "frees the plant of its traditional constraints:" the earth. The Plant Bondage collection reveals round clumps of mossy soil around the roots, and invites the branches and foliage to climb the framework.
