Planters








BACSACS are an amazingly inexpensive, eco-friendly alternative. They’re made by the namesake French company and are rapidly gaining star credentials. BACSACS are already part of an installation at Beaubourg, the Parisian modern art center!
Basically, they are weightless and portable bags creating a new generation of flexible plant containers. Each BACSAC is made in a double-walled geotextile fabric and is 100% recyclable. The special construct of this fabric maintains the necessary balance between air, soil and water. Surprisingly these designs are frost and sun resistant. The handles and low weight make transportation easy (or easier!).
They come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. One even works as a saddle over a balcony railing…
