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.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Floating Greenery
- Growing plants in the air, without soil, offers a new vertical design perspective for architects and interior designers.
- Suspended Frame Structures
- Designers can create minimalistic plant installations by replacing traditional planters with frames suspended in mid-air.
- Elevated Botanicals
- Designing elevated botanical installations or arranging plants in unconventional ways adds a touch of intrigue to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Sectors Adopting This
- Interior Design
- Interior decorators can offer a suspended greenery section or an installation of floating plants to add a unique style to home designs.
- Architecture
- Architects can incorporate floating greenery into their designs to bring in elements of nature into buildings in a visually intriguing way.
- Urban Landscaping
- Designers can create unconventional and elevated plant installations in public spaces to create an atmosphere of creativity and refreshment.
