These beautiful works of living art known as terrariums come from the Brunswick studio of Clea Cregan. Her business Miniscapes produces these artworks that remind me of the likes of bonsai’s. You can look through the glass and image yourself getting lost in your thoughts sitting under the tree! Miniscapes has been engaged to display in the Australian Open VIP lounge on numerous occasions and can be seen in various locations around the city.
Monkey Grip by Adam Cornish was designed with space conscious living in mind. With more and more people living in town houses and apartments due to proximity to cities and work, housing is becoming smaller and more compact. Monkey Grip is a system of linking pots which utilise space not currently available to common house pots.
The pots are designed to hang from typical structures found within in the home, such as beams, rafters, handrails and standard plant hanging hooks. Each pot then joins to the other to form a chain of potted plants, creating a beautiful column of foliage and minimising clutter on the floor.
The pot’s unique shape not only enables the plants to be linked together to form a chain, but also houses a water reservoir in the bottom with a simple wick system that allows water overflow to be saved and wicked back to the roots of the plant; minimising water consumption in today’s water conscious society.
The pot’s unique joining system pays homage to the children’s game, ‘barrel of monkeys’ and are designed to be used with standard plants to ad beauty, or to grow herbs and edible plants.
