The Indoor Fabric Garden

This project began as a quest to reinvent the quintessential British ‘hanging basket’.
To increase the challenge we set about designing a solution to bring the hanging basket from the outdoors to the indoor.
This would simultaneously reduce the need for environmentally extravagant cut flowers and provide new exciting ways to grow plants in the home.
One line of enquiry led us to the idea of adapting old lampshades, which when suspended upside down could provide the form and structure suitable for a hanging basket envelope.
The idea of re-appropriating old lampshades and their fabric was particularly appealing as it reinforced the environmentally friendly credentials informing this concept.

Those don’t look like old lampshades. Why not use old fabric from couches, blankets, thrift clothing? Is there any difference? Is the sole weight of old lampshades sinking the British Isles?
