GREENHOUSE, Black

The Greenhouse is a design object with artistic ambitions, a sculpture that makes room for nature. Green plants are a neglected area which call for innovative design solutions; precisely what Greenhouse offers. Atelier 2 place greenery on a pedestal and protect it with glass as the delicate and beautiful item that it deserves to be.

Worapong Manupipatpong and Ada Chirakranont originally created Greenhouse for the magazine Wallpaper’s annual Handmade Exhibition. The Greenhouse was their way of interpreting the concept of ‘handmade’ as a term that does not just concern the manufacture of the item but also the way that it is cherished. Which is to say the care which we often afford to plants. And this is how Greenhouse should be viewed: the physical expression of a broader use of the term ‘handmade’.
