Growing A Better Well-Being
This thoughtfully designed trio of products enhances the experience of plant interaction to support mental health and well-being based on research into the subject of horticultural and eco-therapies as a treatment for the growing mental health crisis we face day to day.
A compact wooden plant care station offers a convenient, organized space for storing small gardening tools, featuring a green accent strip with hanging pegs for accessibility and visual appeal.
A table capable of sliding down the side of a sofa, suitable to function as a side table; able to hold drinks and clutter, while also designed to hold grow lights on the underside that are able to support the growth of a house plant positioned by the side of the sofa.
A minimalist wooden desk tidy suitable as a phone stand and stationary holder that purposefully displays a plant, encouraging moments of connection with nature.
Each piece promotes calm and reflection by bringing the natural world into daily routines, fostering a sense of purpose, grounding, and serenity. These designs are ideal for space restricted indoor environments, combining function and aesthetics to promote therapeutic interaction with plants.
