DESIGN APPROACH

We were delighted to be part of a prestigious office project with striking artificial plants and smart customized GRC plant pots. To sit down with the designers and dive into details was very exciting.
The first discussion was about using artificial plants instead of natural plants. Situations and environments don’t always allow for natural plants. So we had to make sure that the artificial plants would have the same look and feel and be of the best quality. Plants are regularly included in the design to bring warmth to the project. At the same time, with a prestigious office project such as this, it is essential to keep in mind the professional setting. The type of plant that we selected had to reflect that. Sansevieria plants are very modern-looking plants. They fit perfectly into office settings, because of their shape.
A prominent office project always has to have customized plant pots. Here we were looking for contemporary plant pots with a natural look and feel. But placing cement plant pots indoors wasn’t possible. The design concept was looking for large pots that would grab the attention when you walked into the room. Cement pots of this size are simply too heavy. The solution was to use GRC pots. They were selected and customized in color to match the interior design.
When putting together each plant arrangement we wanted to avoid a too-stark look and added a lively element. Luckily the selected plant, the sansevieria, is available in different colors. Â
Being involved from the beginning of a project, advising on plants and pots that match the design concept until the day of completion is amazing.Â
