Considering how long humans have been growing things, we can understand how you might be on the lookout for new ways to infuse interiors with lovely, natural things. We’re not sure if this is actually a trend yet, but we sure hope that folks start incorporating this neat natural item we spotted.
String gardens are this lovely way of combining the idea of plants and mobiles, or more like plants and floating. We’re not really sure what these remind us of, we just know we love them so much.
From bright bursts of color from flowers to hanging plants with luscious leaves to small trees, all these lovely string gardens can hang at varying heights and bring layers, sophistication and dimension to any space. Just so lovely. I know I said “lovely” a lot in this post, but really, can you blame me?

This might be an attractive way to display plants as temporary decoration, but it doesn’t seem like it would work well in a domestic environment. Imagine the mess created by watering (if watering would work at all) and soil erosion.
I would argue that this borrows more from fantasy than it does from modern sensibility. Don’t confuse “modern” and “geometric” or “esoteric.” Truly Modern decor retains and even celebrates utility. As Louis Sullivan said: form follows function!
“Modern” doesn’t have to mean restrictive, i hope? The hanging plants are based on a form of Japanese bonsai called kokodama…if the “function” is meant to be providing beauty then it “works” – my mom made spontaneous displays of kokodama in her yard which never stayed the same…she both inspired and taught me by example that living things are cared for, watched, moved, etc. I have hanging orchids in my window, no pots. They are air plants, not native to being put in containers. They are lovely.
Seriously, those first 2 pics? Too too beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration!
