"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese proverb

The Avocado Vase ,designed by London-based Ilex Studio, is a pure and simple design, based on the principles of minimalism, timelessness, and functionality. It allows you to observe the avocado seed as it matures, giving an insight into the plants' first stages of life. A refined alternative to the traditional method of growing avocados with toothpicks, the vase mouth cradles the seed, keeping it dry as it sprouts and encouraging the roots to flourish freely.

The sinuously shaped vase magnifies the roots as they prosper; creating a perfect focal point to witness the plant as it develops.
