LSA presents Greenhouse Connections installation at Planted
LSA International is taking part in the Planted design event, showcasing a Greenhouse Connections installation.
Taking place at King’s Cross from 23-26 September, Planted is the first contemporary design event reconnecting people and spaces with nature.
Designed by AMD Interior Architecture for LSA, the Greenhouse Connections installation presents a more sustainable vision of the future by showcasing design today which improves tomorrow.
The installation comprises a geodesic dome that incorporates living plants and displays LSA’s Canopy collection, developed in collaboration with the Eden Project. Inspired by the Eden Project’s large Biomes, the structure invites visitors to walk through the green canopy and reflect on our collective responsibility in living together under one canopy.
The installation explores the concept of biophilia, the role design and craft play in sustainability and the importance of connection, collaboration and community. On either side of the dome, on tall metal rods evocative of glassblowing pipes, LSA display a selection of their longest-standing pieces which demonstrate a belief in creating timeless objects which endure in form and function. Originally developed in 2017, the bespoke display structure continues to be reused and repurposed, illustrating a sustainable approach to design, materials and craft.
Developed in collaboration with the Eden Project, Canopy is a collection of handmade, 100% recycled glass products centred around the concepts of hydration and propagation -designed to address environmental concerns surrounding water conservation, single use plastics and plant preservation.
Reduce, reuse, recycle is an adage which challenges today’s cultural narrative of consumption. Pieces which endure in their quality and design can be used time and time again, kept and even handed down. In this installation LSA encourages people to connect with nature in a meaningful way, reflecting on the sustainability of their choices by considering the true value of the products they buy.
