Lobe
Three smooth cells fused into one desk landscape.
$36
Lobe is a cluster of three rounded cells swelling out of one another like soap bubbles caught mid-merge, each holding a single small cactus. The smooth lobed shells give every plant its own walled pocket of gritty mix while the shared base keeps the trio reading as one form. Each cell drops to its own pinhole drain feeding a slim hidden tray below, so a desert mix stays sharp-draining without a ring of standing water. The matte surface curves seamlessly between lobes, cool and unbroken under a passing hand.
- Dimensions
- H 95mm × W 185mm across the cluster · three Ø 55mm cells · per-cell pinhole drainage · slim hidden drip tray included
- Plant pairing
- Made for a cactus trio — three small specimens (mammillaria, a young golden barrel, a tiny astrophytum) each in its own cell, each with its own drain so you can water them at their own pace. Suits small succulents and lithops too.
- Materials
- Matte PLA, Recycled PETG, Wood-Fill PLA
We started from the way a barrel cactus pups — small offsets crowding the parent until the silhouette goes lumpen and plural. Lobe freezes that clustering: three cells fused at the waist, the wall thickest where they meet so the whole piece self-supports without internal scaffolding. A trio of cacti planted apart but housed together, the way they actually grow.
