Lucille – A Flower Cocoon

Less is a bore when it comes to the domestic jungle. Lucille is a contemporary interpretation of a hanging plant basket and organizes our lush indoor greenery. The knotted structure is adapted from the traditional Macramé but converted for our modern needs. While conventional flower nets end in a bunch of loose ends, Lucilles construction is turned upside down and the ropes are bundled at the top. The noose serves as a hanging loop and the hoist also modifies the height. With its big meshes and without curlicues, the airy cocoon leaves room for the plant to develop and serves as a climbing aid. Looking up from beneath we can see the usually hidden natural processes. Earth and roots are visible through the bottom of the hand blown glass flowerpot.

The production and assembly and of Lucille is a collaboration with MAMMU, a socially responsible fashion company that closely cooperates with young Latvian mothers. The corporate concept allows them to work from home and finish the handcrafted pieces as it fits their schedule.
