Hydro-sphere

Hydro-sphere is a series of modular aluminum planters designed by Aleksandra Jakuć to introduce aquatic ecosystems into urban environments. Developed in collaboration with Centrala Studio and the Faculty of Biology at the University of Białystok, the project merges artistic exploration with scientific research. Inspired by the legacy of Polish hydrobotany and the aesthetics of 1960s–70s concrete planters, Hydro-sphere reimagines these forms for today’s ecological needs. Each planter functions as a micro-habitat—cooling the air, supporting aquatic plant life, and encouraging biodiversity. The collection includes modules adapted to various plant heights and can be configured in multiple ways to suit diverse contexts. The project creates living systems designed for the shared needs of humans and non-human species, reconnecting urban life with nature.

11 (eleven) is a collaboration between two architects, Susanna Smailova and Ilia Moiseev. 
The duo is interested in product design inspired by clean shapes borrowed from nature and ordinary materials. Eleven's approach is based on the pursuit of purity of forms, where every detail is thought through and avoids unnecessary complexity. Through their work Susanna and Ilia suggest playful and sometimes voluntarily childish way of looking at things.
