Equal parts sculpture and functional object, the Plant-in City Air Terrarium for Freunde von Freunden is an evolution in Huy Bui’s inspiring Plant-in City project, developed in response to an increasing need for greenery in confined urban spaces. Hand-made of reclaimed natural teak, our FvF edition was created to display Tillandsia, the exotic, strangely beautiful air plant. The compact footprint of the air terrarium allows one to place it in a multitude of situations where the poetic reminder of nature is desired. Each piece is meticulously constructed by hand in Huy Bui’s Brooklyn studio and requires hours of assembly, from the precisely cut and set joints to the intricate lattice work of the copper wiring designed to suspend a variety of air plants.

The spacious living room is another of the owners’ favorite spaces. “The double-height ceilings in that room create a very expansive feeling. No matter how many people are in the space, it still feels very open and airy,” says Susan. The soaring 17-foot-high concrete ceilings are original to the schoolhouse, though they were likely not exposed in the same way at that time. A Kilim rug over heated radiant floors bring visual and thermal warmth to the space. A BoConcept sofa and From the Source lounge chair define a seating area, accented by David Weeks Studio hinged wall light.

A sculptural terrarium brings the landscape indoors. This two-tier wooden box planter is but one of many designs by Plant-in City, a cooperative of artists and technologists who create a series of intricate, micro-ecosystems of “green architecture.”
