Living Botanical Art and Heritage Home Decor
We blend living plants with handcrafted stone and wood to tell stories of South Indian tradition. From floating sky gardens to intricate temple-inspired sculptures, explore our signature work.
We created a garden in the sky, a sun room on the 20th floor designed for quiet moments and reflection. This space features a large stone urlī with lotus, hanging epiphyte arrangements, and a custom bonsai, all overlooking the city.
This is our signature 'Tree of Life' installation coming together. We assemble a mammoth trunk with smaller branches to create a vertical garden, which becomes a host for various epiphytes. It's one of our largest living art pieces.
Watch as our plant whisperer, Lakshman, carefully builds a large sealed terrarium. These self-sustaining ecosystems are bottled gardens that require absolutely no watering, bringing a miniature world of green into your home.
A 'Hanging Sky' garden we designed for a gazebo space. This suspended installation features a variety of orchids, bromeliads, and hoyas mounted on rustic wood, creating a piece of living art that appears to float in mid-air.
A tribute to our heritage, this is a handcrafted stone chariot inspired by the jewel of Hampi. Created by talented artists from Karnataka, it brings a piece of history and incredible craftsmanship into the garden.
We converted an existing planter box at a client's entrance into a serene water body. The space now features our granite temple lamp fountain, a granite lantern, and aquatic plants, creating a soothing welcome.
Here we are crafting a Kokedama, a Japanese technique of growing plants in a moss ball. This Staghorn fern is moulded into a sphere, creating a unique, organic element that can be hung or placed on a platter.
About this collection
Every custom piece we create begins with a light and humidity check of your specific space. Whether it is a hanging epiphyte garden for a bright balcony or a sealed terrarium for a study, we assess your environment first to ensure the plants we choose will actually thrive, not just survive.
Our work is about more than just decoration; it is about bringing a piece of the wild, and a piece of our heritage, into your everyday life. Since 2016, we have been working from our studio in Bengaluru, where we treat every installation as a living story.
We see a blank wall and imagine a vertical garden, or a piece of untreated driftwood and see a home for orchids and ferns. Our 'Tree of Life' installations, for example, are not mass-produced. We source large, natural structures and meticulously layer them with hoyas and ferns to mimic the natural forest canopy.
Beyond the green, we are deeply connected to the craft traditions of South India. You will see this in our stone work. We collaborate with local artisans to carve granite lamps, chariot replicas, and water features that ground our botanical arrangements in a sense of place.
When you work with us, you are not just getting a plant; you are getting a setup that involves a specific substrate system. For our terrariums, we use layers of activated charcoal and clay balls to keep the environment healthy. For our Kokedama moss balls, we use traditional Japanese soil-less techniques. If you visit our gallery in JP Nagar, you might catch us working on a new sculpture, or you might be greeted by Scooby and Subbi, our office dogs. We invite you to step away from the artificial and bring some real, breathing life into your home.

We are Dileep and Lakshman, and we have been turning botanicals into art since 2016. Our workspace is part jungle, part home, where our dogs Scooby and Subbi are the real managers. We want your space to feel rooted in tradition, not just filled with store-bought plants.
