We partnered with Anya Hindmarch to create a large-scale terrarium installation for the launch of their Return to Nature collection. Working with The Lost Boys, we spent two days planting over 950 litres of compost with humidity-loving plants. The project extended to the shopfront with ivy and Muehlenbeckia tucked into the cracks to mirror that wild, overgrown feel.

Guests learned to build sealed ecosystems while tasting cocktails made with botanicals from the Chase estate. The events ran across a full season with finished terrariums photographed alongside the bottle range for campaign imagery.
Client: Chase VodkaDesign: London TerrariumsWe transformed the Pont Street store into an immersive plant shopping experience. Customers browsed rare houseplants alongside leather goods, blurring the line between fashion retail and botanical nursery. The installation included workshops where visitors made their own terrariums, with real soil, clay pots, and hand-written plant labels throughout.

Olive trees, trailing pothos and clusters of ferns were arranged on and around furniture displays. Hanging planters dropped from the ceiling grid while larger specimens anchored key sightlines, adding warmth and texture that customers consistently responded to.

We designed styled room settings where plants were integral — terrariums on shelving units, trailing ivy framing doorways, air plants suspended above dining tables. The collaboration included in-store workshops where customers built mini terrariums to take home, driving footfall and extending dwell time.
Client: H&M HomeDesign: London TerrariumsA collaboration for the Air Max 1 Hemp release, transforming the Footpatrol store into a greenhouse-like environment. Sneakers were presented on beds of living moss alongside terrariums filled with tropical species. The hemp material informed the plant selection natural, textural species echoing the raw quality of the design. Custom terrariums were given to competition winners and featured across sneaker media.
Client: Nike x FootpatrolDesign: SNKRS & HouseplantsPlants: London TerrariumsBotanical installations for Percival, complementing the brand’s relaxed, outdoor-inspired menswear. Olive branches draped beside linen shirts, succulents clustered around accessories, and statement plants anchored the store entrance. We refreshed the installations seasonally to reflect new collections and styled their launch parties where the greenery became a signature element of the brand experience.
