Welcome to Airplantman Designs.


Airplants capture the imagination from the start. I first saw them at a nursery in Hawaii and couldn't believe that plants that looked so alien also had the ability to live suspended in air.  When I learned they may be the newest plants to evolve and have the most variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, I was hooked.


Since then almost 20 years have passed, and after studying philosophy, I turned my attention to design and a am now a practicing landscape architect.  My passion for airplants never diminished, and I continue to design new ways to bring these unique plants into our lives.  Airplantman Designs creates living artworks  that have been featured in private residences, offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and hotels.  I am always interested in hearing about the next project using these amazing plants so feel free to contact with your questions.

    

Hope you enjoy,

Airplantboxes gracefully wrap sculptural airplants in wire and suspend them above a variety of containers in wood, ceramic, and metal. 

 

The result celebrates the aetherial quality of the airplant by suspending it and leaving is seemingly floating.  Airplantboxes are a perfect home or office decoration, bringing striking plant life without the mess of soil.  Care is incredibly easy.  Simply slide the wire and airplant from its container and once a week and submerge for 6 hours in water before returning to its stand.

Airplants amazing range  of shapes, colors, and textures lead  to the idea of airplantframes.  I developed a technique for building custom frames  capable of  suspending hundreds of airplants in  a new form of living art.  Displayed in this way the airplants create a vivid image of  nature's diversity.  The frames are custom built to reflect the goals and aesthetic of each project.

There ain’t no party like a Lagos party.]


8' long and with over 700 airplants this is my first big installation of the 'airplant frame' idea. it is living art that will change over time and features anodized aluminum frames built by an airplane part manufacturer, stainless steel cable strung by a tennis racket stringer to suspend the airplants, and custom plexi mounting brackets. its easily can be taken on and off the wall to be sprayed or soaked in water to keep the airplants happy. lots of natural light and air circulation in the kitchen will also hopefully keep them healthy. i have several other models of frame using reclaimed wood and both rusted or painted metal, more photos to come!
