Introducing the "Air Plant Nest," a fusion of minimalist design and functionality


San Francisco-based green goods brand "Opus Garden"



"OPUS GARDEN," founded in San Francisco in 2012, is a green gadget brand by Michael Good, a former design engineer at Apple. OPENERS previously featured the "Root Cup", which allows for hydroponic cultivation of succulents and kitchen herbs using only water. Now, they have launched the "Air Plant Nest," a new product designed to display air plants on walls without causing damage.

Enjoy interior plants, indoors and out


Michael Good, the founder of Opus Garden, strives for designs and structures that allow for beautiful green displays in any location—workspaces, kitchens, living rooms—while minimizing maintenance. The Root Cup, commercialized through the creative project crowdfunding service "Kickstarter" (https://www.kickstarter.com/), became a hit in Japan.



The "Air Plant Nest" is an item designed to easily display Tillandsia, a type of plant that grows by attaching to the branches and trunks of other plants or rock surfaces, rather than rooting in soil.











The resin nest, easily attached to walls with pushpins, nails, or screws, gently holds the Tillandsia. It's also simple to remove for misting or soaking (filling a bucket with room-temperature water and immersing the plant for an extended period to absorb moisture), allowing for plant care without damaging the plant or the wall. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.



In addition to the Air Plant Nest, Opus Garden also offers the "Hangen Wall Planter," which features an integrated watering tank and a one-touch mechanism for wall mounting and removal. With products that excel in both function and design, embrace a greener lifestyle with ease.
