As spring inches ever closer I canโt stop thinking about and planning what Iโll be putting into the ground this year. London-based LSA Internationalโs new Balcony and Terrazza collections also have me dreaming up what Iโll be adding to my empty planters โ and maybe a few new ones. Inspired by biophilia โ our affinity to engage with the natural world โ Balcony and Terrazzaโs designs are sculptural and purposeful. Their individually mouth-blown glass pieces add a sense of calm to their surroundings by echoing patterns found in the natural world.
Balcony is a two-part, self-watering glass planter that uses sub-irrigation to deliver water straight to a plantโs roots via a cotton cord that wicks water from the built-in reservoir to the soil. Inspired by visually interesting terraced landscapes and offset city balconies, Balcony maintains a consistent level of soil moisture โ ideal for plants who donโt like to dry out before their next drink. The two clear and olive green glass sections neatly fit together and are suitable for plants, bulbs, and herbs.
Sticking with a staggered profile, Terrazza is a collection of floor and desk planters ready to help you add green life to your space. The two-part planter features a mouth-blown glass planting bowl that nestles into a powder-coated steel base. The resulting column mimics high-rise terraces and roof gardens, creating a shelf-like formation, while an open channel in the base provides the plantโs roots with exposure to sunlight. Terrazza is a great option for growing trailing plants, as well as bulbs and herbs.
