Plant Pot

2016

After the great success of Lizzie's 2015 exhibition, P L A N T P O T returned for 2016 with a 'Pattern' theme.

Lizzie commissioned and curated a collection of 12 one-off plant pots, designed and made by friends of SMUG. Each designer produced a water tight plant pot using any material of their choice. Every pot was then planted up by Lizzie with a succulent or cacti to compliment the design.

From top to bottom, starting on the left the pots are designed by - Laura Slater, Geo-Fleur, Manolya Isik, Origami Est, Tilly Hemmingway, Ruby Taylor, Donna Wilson, Holly Kemp, One Design Space, Kangan Arora, One We Made Earlier and Laura Gee.

Lizzie would like to thank all of the designers who took part in the show.

Details of P L A N T P O T 2 0 1 7 coming soon. See P L A N T P O T 2 0 1 5 here.

Ozone Coffee Holiday Blend

2016

Some words from Ozone Coffee Roasters on the collaboration...

" This festive season we have collaborated with London designer, Lizzie Evans, to create our limited edition holiday label. Lizzie has pieced together two complimentary designs made up of bold but loose brush strokes with abstract tree motifs influenced by traditional Christmas tress from our homelands of New Zealand & The UK.

Lizzie heads up the SMUG lifestyle store & cafe in Islington and recently launched a fresh illustrative pattern collection, which evokes the energy and essence of the SMUG community. "
