What grows around, comes around.
Jardiniere
Good ideas aren't forgotten, they just adapt with the times.
The jardiniere was a popular addition to any nineteenth century home that desired to demonstrate its cultured green fingers.
‘Jardiniere’ is a French word from the feminine form of ‘Gardener’. It actually has three meanings, perhaps the most common among which, is a receptacle [or more rarely a stand] upon which, or into which, the owner would place plants, flowers or herbs.
These days, plants in the home are a welcome distraction from all that domestic 'noise'. They bring a sense of calm and a natural aesthetic only truly found in nature.
I firmly believe that the concept of the jardiniere is long overdue a revival and with this piece, would like to #bringbackthejardiniere!
Taking its cue's from the specimens it supports, Ash stalks and platforms are buried in classic Italian slate. The pieces can be used individually, or for real planting power, as a triumvirate.
