Onsen - Plant Watering Vase

Truly unique the Onsen allows you to have house plants AND cupboard space. No more watering cans, jugs or other apparatus; just a simply stunning vase that seamless morphs when plants need watering. 

Inspired by a Scandinavian spa retreat of the same name; a series of circular wooden baths overlook the Shotover River that curves through the valley below. Sweeping the bath-like forms through the arch of the river give the main form of the Onsen. Rippling water fuses the two aspects and gives the sense of being created naturally by the user each time the vase spout is transformed.

Beauty + Function: Transforms when plants need watering. Spout insert simply slides out, reversed and reinserted. 

Spout joins are sealed with bee's wax; to maintain a smooth and water-tight transition period reapplication every few months is recommended (other common products like Vaseline or candle wax can also work fine). 

Internal walls are water sealed with a food-safe epoxy.  

Height 20cm, Width 13cm, Depth 7cm

PLANT-BASED SERIES 

Reclaimed wood is blended with a vegetable polymer, to create a light but strong material the feels great and smells slightly of wood. 

We use bee's wax to seal any watertight components.

Plant-based and 100% biodegradable
