By tapping into his expertise as a designer in the automotive industry and his passion for nature and its endless beauty, Adrian Magu created Kasokudo – a contemporary Bonsai planter that looks absolutely sublime.
The product features an elongated, seemingly accelerating shape that doesn’t tip over even though it looks like it might. It houses a bonsai tree and flaunts a 3D printed representation of mountains that looks artificial and contrasts with the natural appearance of the tree. Furthermore, since the process of 3D printing much faster than the process of growing a Bonsai tree, the two elements are even more at odds with each other.
The Kasokudo Bonsai planter was created with utmost attention to detail and represents a merger between cutting edge technology and nature.

From the designer
Designer Adrian Magu’s interest for everything green and his work in the automotive industry has resulted in the Kasokudo Bonsai Planter; a stunning fusion of form and function.
Referencing speed forms and manufacturing processes used in transportation design, this piece juxtaposes movement applied to what is usually a static object.
The piece gives the impression of an accelerating form that effortlessly floats to house a bonsai tree, evoking a perfect balance of dynamic harmony.
The latest manufacturing processes of the highly polished finishes of the planter and 3D-printed ‘mountains’ contrast to that of nature that usually takes many decades to grow, sculpt and form the gnarled bonsai forms.
In all, a unique synthesis of cutting-edge precision with the imperfect beauty of nature.
