Recently spotted from Byggstudio, a creative consultancy in Sweden: standard wooden trellises and DIY sawhorse tables display plants in a pop-up vintage plant shop.
Founded in 2006 by Hanna Nilsson & Sofia í˜sterhus, Byggstudio opened a temporary vintage plant shop in the middle of Stockholm. The idea behind the instant shop is to exhibit and exchange secondhand plants and document their stories as they’re passed from owner to owner. Byggstudio collaborated with architects Markus Bergstrí¶m and Simon Jones to build out the tiny shop with plant pots custom made by ceramicists Linus Ersson and Andrea Djerf.
We like the hanging shelves in the window so much that we decided to sleuth out the perfect wooden trellis to recreate the look at home.
