Art is Life

Three Large Ficus Benjamina, housed in strong and industrially inspired steel planters, create a foundation and linear aesthetic through the spine of the gallery-esque retail space.

Over time, these trees have been grown and shaped to explore a more natural aesthetic, taking cues from biomicry and their individual locations within the building.

Light levels reach each plant differently, and rather than working to create uniformity and "standard" foliage grooming practice, our skilled horticulturalists have been afforded the freedom to play and work with the natural growth, all the while maintaining healthy foliage and root systems for the established planting.
