  About this garden

 The story 
-----------

 This Indoor Show Garden is a tranquil urban oasis designed to bring nature indoors and create a seamless connection between interior design and plant life. The space showcases contemporary 3D-printed planters using a plant derived material. The room is styled as a multifunctional retreat, incorporating elements for relaxation, meditation and creative pursuits. The layout includes comfortable seating, a small zen garden and a dedicated space for yoga or meditation, all designed to encourage visitors to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature and themselves. The contemporary living space is designed to promote relaxation and well-being through biophilic principles.
