The development of the Avocado and Acorn Vases reflect our profound respect for all aspects of plant life, including the often-overlooked roots beneath the soil,” say designers Ed Spurr and Amy Hall Browne. “These vases transform the act of growing plants from everyday seeds into a key element of home decor.”
“Our Acorn Vase draws inspiration from the majestic oaks of London's parks and the adage ‘Tall oaks from little acorns grow.’ Through experimenting with acorns in water, we discovered the necessity of a growth vessel that keeps the seed dry while allowing roots to grow into the water.”

“The inspiration behind our new Cosmic Collection originated from the inspiring images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Motivated to bring the allure of the cosmos into everyday spaces, we crafted these vases with a metallic transfer technique.”
