Fold Pot

Fold Pot is a project borne out of the basic observation that, sooner or later, every plant outgrows its pot.

While plants continually change, their pots have always been designed as immobile objects. When in use, this silicon rubber plant pot can double its capacity. Soil may be added during the plant’s growth, providing the space necessary for it to spread its roots. The use of flexible silicon enables the plant pot to take into account the plant’s changes and, in a way, grow along side it.

The colors and sharp edges of Fold Pot are intended to create an interesting contrast with the materials used. The final result is a plant pot for contemporary small interiors and wood furniture, suitable for growing small plants and spices.

One of the biggest challenges was to provide the desired aesthetics even when the pot is “folded.” This was achieved through a long process of development between the designer and engineers. Fold Pot comes with a plate, the hole for draining is designed as a circular furrow that can either be removed or remain closed if the use of the pot plate is preferred. Given its almost indestructibility, Fold Pot has caught the eye of many cat owners...
