British ceramic specialist Habulous has launched a new collection of handcrafted stoneware designed to showcase the unique beauty of air plants. The Air Plant Holders, inspired by nature, feature miniature ceramic creatures where the plants themselves become an integral part of the design.
Air plants, known for their ability to absorb nutrients from the air rather than soil, have grown in popularity among plant enthusiasts. However, Habulous’ new range aims to offer a fresh, creative way to display them. The collection includes ceramic whales, jellyfish, and birds, each carefully designed to incorporate air plants into their appearance.
In the bird design, the plant forms part of its plumage, while in the jellyfish, it represents flowing tentacles. For the whale, the greenery emerges from its blowhole, mimicking a water spout. The quirky concept aligns with the growing biophilia trend in interior design, which promotes a closer connection to nature within living spaces.
Nicky Edmunds, founder of Habulous and the designer behind the collection, said:
“Biophilia is a huge trend in home décor, and it’s here to stay. While many people opt for large, bold houseplants, these air plant holders offer a completely different take on the trend. They’re fun, full of personality, and perfect for small spaces where traditional plants might be overwhelming.”
Each piece in the collection is handmade, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The designs combine practicality with artistic charm, making them ideal for gifting or adding a unique touch to home interiors. The Air Plant Holders are available in different sizes, and customers can choose to purchase them with or without air plants included.
Edmunds added:
“This collection brings a burst of colour and greenery into homes in a really playful way. It’s a perfect combination of craftsmanship and creativity.”
Habulous, known for its commitment to handmade British ceramics, has developed a loyal following for its distinctive approach to home décor. The Air Plant Holders continue this tradition, offering a contemporary, space-saving way to introduce greenery into the home.
The collection is available now, with prices starting at £18.50.
