The brief

A corporate client’s new high-rise office, furnished by CFS Group, has black planter boxes at the end of each desk row and between the workstations, across the whole floor. They arrived empty. The client wanted them filled with greenery that stays as it looks on the first day, with no watering and no service visits.

The challenge

The boxes are the main dividers on an open floor: they mark the aisles and screen one cluster of desks from the next. Black boxes in a bright white office show every gap, so each one had to be planted full and even, and look right from the aisle, from the desks and from the glass offices along the side.

The solution

We laid a bed of preserved moss in each box and planted it with preserved eucalyptus, grasses, ferns and cream flowers, high enough to screen the desks behind without blocking the light from the windows. The same mix runs through every box, so the floor reads as one planting from end to end.

The result

Every desk row now ends in green, and the aisles run between planted boxes from the windows to the glass offices. All of it is preserved, so none of it needs water, daylight or a maintenance contract.
