Designer Adrian Magu has combined his penchant for “everything green” with his experience in the automotive industry in order to create an eye-catching, contemporary bonsai planter dubbed Kasokudo.
This intriguing item is a great mix of form and function: utilizing speed forms and manufacturing processes used in automobile design, the piece has a fluid feel about it, giving the impression of movement for an otherwise static object. At the heart of all of this lies the bonsai tree, an element of calm perfectly balancing the dynamic character of this creation.
Cutting-edge manufacturing processes of the highly polished finishes of the planter and the 3D-printed stylized mountain elements come in contrast with the humble bonsai tree, which can take decades to grow.
Representing a fascinating combination of precise technology and nature’s charming, unpredictable beauty, Kasokudu is a very interesting piece for those who want to add a bit of style to their gardening.
