Bonsai Interiors, Modern Design

When I think of bonsai plants I usually think of traditional Japanese pottery and imagine them best suited to an Asian-inspired interior. Until stumbling upon a blog post on the site: http://architecturedesignblog.com

From an art that began in China more than 2000 years ago during the reign of the Han Dynasty, the use of bonsai in modern design has reached new heights. Whilst XII century Japanese Buddhist monks carried samples of art ‘bonsai’ believing them to be sacred objects, they are now revered by interior decorators in both minimalist and richly furnished commercial and residential spaces.

And my vote for the most creative and modern display of bonsai goes to this…

As another home designing website says on the topic of bonsai in interior settings, ‘Bonsai can bring an air of calm and class to many interior design schemes, and can provide a relaxing hobby too, as you carefully trim the miniature branches to resemble the outstretched silhouette of its larger cousins’.

Of course for the large, extremely expensive interior installations of bonsai as art pieces, such as those featured below, you would want to rely on a ‘bonsai specialist’ to take care of their maintenance and pruning…
