This handcrafted, multifunctional décor piece, designed to bring nature, fragrance, and functionality together, is a decorative hydroponic terrarium. With a minimalist aesthetic, it enhances desks, bookshelves, side tables, and living spaces with a calm, modern presence.

With a minimalist aesthetic, this piece enhances desks, bookshelves, side tables, and living spaces with a serene, modern presence. Crafted from two distinct types of natural wood, I have made it with transparent glass test tubes that support live plants through hydroponic growth. I have designed the the wooden base to accommodate additional décor elements like a clock, vase, or reed diffuser, making it a versatile and complete decorative setup.


The harmonious blend of natural wood textures, clear glass, and fresh greenery creates a balanced visual appeal, while also allowing space for fragrance diffusion through reed sticks. This piece serves not only as a plant holder but also as a refined desk and bookshelf décor element that infuses any room with freshness, elegance, and artistic value.


Designed as a functional piece of art, it seamlessly integrates craftsmanship, sustainability, and aesthetics into a beautiful everyday décor solution.
