The Marimo Aqua Terrarium Can Spruce Up Boring Office Spaces

— August 14, 2017 — Eco
Plants can magically transform a bland office space into a calming oasis, so Marimo Aqua Terrarium is offering botanical goodness with a sculptural and portable iteration. 'Marimo' is derived from a Japanese origin where "Mari" means "bouncy ball" and "mo" is a phrase used to describe plants growing in water. The gorgeous terrarium features a suspended glass ball with moss and vegetation growing on the inside to provide optimal viewing of the enclosed plants and its calming properties.

The set is completed by a curved metal stand, which delicately holds the glass orb in place. The Marimo Aqua Terrarium is highly customizable, serving as an unobtrusive way to bring life to even the dingiest of settings. The complete set comes equipped with all the materials necessary for one to create their own unique zen garden.
