Care instructions
Wipe clean with a damp cloth (do not use scratchy materials like a steel scourer) and gentle soap. You can also hose them down with water. To protect the colours, avoid exposing the product to direct sunlight over long periods and store indoors during winter. If the product is exposed to sea air, wipe the frame regularly with a damp cloth
The Dichas Hanging Planters give every room plant an extraordinary home. Their vibrant colours and large sizes give them an air of extravagance, while their beautifully woven details add a playful touch. Ames developed this collection with Cristina Celestino. The Italian designer was not only influenced by the traditional flower baskets popular in Colombia but also studied the hanging gardens César Manrique built on Lanzarote
Artisans in the ames partner workshops in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, weave the PVC strings, which are made from recycled plastic, around a powder-coated tubular steel frame. The weaving technique the artesanos and artesanas use is called Momposino, a traditional Colombian method to create intricate patterns. Our artisans work on one piece for around 13 days
Cristina Celestino is one of the most prolific contemporary italian designers. Her products and interiors share a softness, often defined by curved lines, a love for pastel hues and subtle links to Italy's rich design heritage. She graduated from the school of architecture at IUAV University of Venice in 2005 and started working as an interior and furniture designer
