Plant owners will rejoice in this new pot design that promises to grow with your plant—no messy transplanting required. It’s fittingly called Growth, and its design was inspired by the geometrical Japanese art of paper folding (in case you hadn’t already noticed). Studio Ayaskan has designed a plant pot with a complex origami form, which enables it to unfold and accommodate more space for roots over time.
The spaces and objects we build and surround us with are very static. In nature, everything evolves, adapts, grows, blooms, degrades, dies, gets absorbed, reused. Nothing stands still. Panta rhei. Everything flows. Growth is a collection of origami flowerpots made of polypropylene, machined with a computer numerically controlled (CNC) router into a cylinder made up of tessellating triangles. They lament that nature is often at odds with our modern mentality to build a static object and throw it away when it no longer serves its purpose. Instead, Growth “mimics nature’s ability to grow and transform by unfolding over time.”
