What inspires you?
I love seeing landscape architects transform public space into beautiful and accessible areas enjoyed by all.

Your favourite product and why?
The Linea Planter is the winner for me. Landscape architects were consulted early on to design this sleek planter. It not only looks good, but optimises the health of the plant. The planter comes with a wicking bed and an inner liner so the soil bed doesn’t overheat, protecting the roots. I love products like this that combine outstanding design features and practicality.

Linea Planter (LP3-BAT) Rectangular S with hardwood battens, Textura Woodland Grey frame. Paired with Linea Bench and Linea Cube.
