Hydro-sphere is a series of modular aluminium water planters that introduces the reflective surfaces, movement and living rhythms of aquatic ecosystems into urban and architectural settings. Sculptural bowls positioned at different heights form flexible spatial compositions, balancing industrial precision with soft, spontaneous growth. Drawing on the legacy of Polish hydrobotany and the visual language of 1960s–70s urban planters, the project reimagines the garden as a portable, evolving landscape. Hydro-sphere was presented at COLLECTIBLE Brussels 2025 and at Alcova 2025 during Milan Design Week.
