Malmö, Sweden
Product designers Nina & Johan Kauppi of Kauppi & Kauppi Design Studio want to bring greenery into any room by designing Allé, a set of plant containers that would provide the means for living plants to be displayed at different heights.
Inspired by the avenues and willow-lined roads of southern Sweden, Allé can blend in or stand out in solitary splendor, be repeated in long rows, or create green items of interest.
The project has been been awarded a 2020 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
It can guide people in the right direction – or invite them to stop and take a coffee break at the small table underneath a green canopy.
The alternatives with an integrated table provide a space for a coffee cup or the plants watering can.
Allé has the ability to blend in, or to make a strong mark in interiors – the choice of plants will establish the final appearance.
Plants have different needs for water, and soil and grow differently throughout the year.
Individual plants can be easily replaced or removed.
The Allé is available in three different leg heights, three sizes of bottom plates, table, or pot (self-watering pot included).
