Trellis
An open grid wall frame that gives a climber somewhere to go.
$72
A flat, open grid frame that mounts to the wall and turns vertical space into root and vine territory. Square cells run edge to edge so tendrils have a rung to grab every few inches, while the chamfered bars cast a fine crosshatch of shadow as the light moves. A cradle pot socket sits low in the frame, drilled with a drainage slot and seated over a slim removable drip channel that catches runoff before it reaches the wall. Two keyhole mounts and a printed-in spirit-level notch keep the grid flush and true.
- Dimensions
- W 12" × H 16" × 1.25" deep (305mm × 406mm × 32mm), 2" square grid cells. Low cradle pot socket with drainage slot over a slim removable drip channel; two keyhole wall mounts and a printed-in level notch.
- Plant pairing
- Climbing philodendron — aerial roots and tendrils latch onto the grid bars and pull the plant upward across the frame, so the foliage fills the lattice over a season. Equally suited to pothos, heartleaf, and other reaching vines that want a structure instead of a stake.
- Materials
- Matte PLA, Recycled PETG, ASA
Trellis started with a climbing philodendron outgrowing its stake and reaching for nothing. We wanted the support to be the object — not a green wire hidden behind leaves, but an honest grid you read as architecture. The cells are sized to a tendril's reach, the bars chamfered so the whole frame draws a moving lattice of shadow on the wall behind the foliage. Mount it low and let the plant climb into the geometry until the two can't be told apart.
