NOMADIC
Common Place Genova
32,00 €This version of Nomade adds a glossy glaze to the 3D printed terracotta structure. The enamel gives the vase an elegant look and makes it easier to clean.

The string will absorb the water from the container and release it into the soil. This way the vase releases water only when the plant needs it.

Compatible with reused bottles and jars: the cone (Ø 12 cm for the Regular version, Ø 17 cm for the XL) adapts to recycled bottles, jars or glasses. Seasonal recommendations: raise the water level between spring and summer while lowering the level in the winter months. Recommended plants: Tradescantia, Philodendron, Calathea, Fittonia, Ficus bonsai, Maranta, ferns and Mimosa pudica Simple maintenance: Use filtered or bottled water, keep the soil moist but not soggy; clean the cone with a scouring pad and baking soda; to prevent mold in the soil, reduce the water and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. 📌 Plant and container not included. Our 3D clay pieces are hand-finished: clay, a living material, may have small imperfections that make each object unique.
