Tillo plant stand is a finalist in the Dobry Wzór 2021 competition

Our latest collection of Tillo multi-plant stands wins more awards!

After winning the Must Have awards at the Łódź Design Festival, the Tillo collection became a finalist in the Dobry Wzór 2021 (Good Design 2021) competition organized by the Institute of Industrial Design.

This is a great opportunity to tell you a little more about this project.

Like all our designs, this one also stemmed from a need. We conducted a series of interviews with plant owners, who, let's face it, are not hard to find these days. Almost all of them suffer from the same condition. When you buy one plant, you immediately want more and more. This way, they occupy windowsills, cabinets, and shelves.

From the conversations, it became clear that there was a lack of solutions for a larger number of plants. And that was our starting point! To create a plant stand that could accommodate several plants.

Iza Serej, the author of this collection, spent nearly 2 months gathering inspiration for this project. We knew that the plant stand had to meet several basic functionalities that plant owners expected from us, namely:

• -it must accommodate a minimum of 6 plants
• -it must be stable
• -it must elevate plants to an appropriate height
• -plants should not obscure each other
• -ideally, pot covers should not be required, and pots with saucers could be used

As the designer herself says: “The inspiration for their creation, as in many of our other lush projects, came from architecture. In this case, modernist architecture. With modernist gems such as the Stenersen House by Arne Korsmo in Oslo, or the Tugendhat Villa in Brno by Mies van der Rohe, I looked for forms that would refer to their designs, and at the same time could constitute one of the elements of their decor.”

And that's how the Tillo collection of plant stands was created, which is a combination of minimalist modernism and functionality.

The collection consists of two plant stands, Tillo T3 and T4. They differ in the number of spaces for plants. The individual shelves of the plant stand were designed so that each plant has a place to show off its charms and, incidentally, not obscure the rest. Additionally, for the smallest specimens, we designed two small movable tear-shaped wings.

The entire product is powder coated in any RAL color.
