The CANOPY Collection is a range centred around the concepts of hydration and propagation and simultaneously explores the concept of transformation, embodying the environmentally conscious act of taking discarded material and turning it into something useful. The collection brings a selection of drink ware, terrariums, self-watering planters and vases to the table, each crafted utilising materials and production techniques that ensure minimum impact on the environment. 

Amongst the eight pieces that make up the collection rises dome-shapped designs reminiscent of the Eden Project’s Biomes, while the collection’s name, CANOPY is, as the brand explains, “inspired by the idea that together we all live as one community under the same canopy.” Each piece is handmade and created from 100% recycled glass and boxed in recycled, recyclable packaging. Furthermore, organic vegetable inks and natural glues have been implemented to further reduce the impact on the environment.
