British pottery specialists Habulous have unveiled an enchanting new range of plant decorations designed to delight gardening enthusiasts and plant lovers alike. The innovative Plant Hugger Collection, featuring quirky characters crafted from British clay and recycled glass, offers a charming way to enhance houseplants.
Each of the 22 unique varieties in the Plant Hugger range showcases a variety of whimsical designs, including dinosaurs, sea creatures, insects, and birds. Handmade in Habulous’s Devon studio, the Plant Huggers are fashioned from leftover clay and assorted pieces of recycled coloured glass, ensuring that no two pieces are alike. This commitment to sustainability and individuality reflects Habulous’s ethos of creating beautiful homewares with a playful twist.
Nicky Edmunds, the founder of Habulous, explained the inspiration behind the collection: “All of our Plant Huggers are handmade in our Devon studio from leftover clay and different pieces of recycled coloured glass, which means each one will be slightly different to the next. They encapsulate the magic of Habulous, where we create beautiful homewares with a playful touch.”
The Plant Huggers come attached to eco-friendly gift cards made from recycled paper, making them perfect for letterbox gifting. Nicky noted that the collection was inspired by the insects that naturally inhabit gardens and green spaces, but in true Habulous fashion, it extends the theme to include whimsical characters like dinosaurs, tortoises, and even wild swimmers. “We wanted to go one step further and now dinosaurs, tortoises and even wild swimmers can explore the foliage of our houseplants,” she added.
The Plant Hugger Collection made its debut at Top Drawer 2024, a prestigious trade show for the retail industry, where it was shortlisted for the ‘Best New Product – Gift’ category. The response to the collection has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the growing demand for unique and sustainable home decor.
Each Plant Hugger is priced at £10.99 and is now available for purchase directly from Habulous. The collection appeals not only to individual plant enthusiasts but also serves as an ideal gift for those looking to add a touch of whimsy to their indoor gardens.
Habulous is known for its dedication to quality craftsmanship and sustainable practices. By utilising leftover materials and focusing on handmade production, the company minimises waste while creating products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
As the trend for houseplants continues to rise, the Plant Hugger Collection is set to capture the hearts of many.
