Ivy Muse evolve stylish third collection beyond plant stands

IVY MUSE have launched Calypso, their third collection of limited edition plant stands and botanical wares, featuring seven brand new Melbourne­-designed and made products. With the trend for houseplants definitely still on the rise, we think these are fantastic! And the range has now evolved far beyond the plant stand, allowing you to make a real statement with your greenery at home.

There are four brand new plant stands, each available in black and white as well as a limited edition colour unique to that design: Harlequin ​(Sage)​, Daisy ​(Summer Yellow)​, Button ​(Sky Blue) and Chameleon ​(copper plated​). The Chameleon is also available in small and medium.

This collection also sees the release of handmade ceramic table tops enabling you to turn any ​IVY MUSE ​short plant stand into a side table or plant platform (or both!). Clever!

Also new to the lineup is the plant shelf (my favourite). Made from Victorian Ash and powdercoated steel, it offers flexible options for use as it can be easily flipped so the pot plant sits to the right or left. It comes with a handmade porcelain pot and features grooves for displaying art. That’s great design for you: good looking and useful.

To further celebrate their third collection, ​IVY MUSE​ have collaborated with Sydney­-based Design Twins​ on a hand­-painted lightweight concrete pot. The Harlequin is available in grey and green and available exclusively through ​IVY MUSE​ and ​Design Twins​.

IVY MUSE also commissioned Victorian ceramicist ​Ana Maria Jensen to produce an exclusive range of hand­made limited edition pots to complement the ​Calypso range. Wheel-­thrown from iron­-bearing stoneware, each pot has been combined with unique glazes to allow the clay to gently reveal its natural character. Available in Summer Yellow, Matt Black and Pearl Green.

The brand is the brainchild of longtime friends Jacqui Vidal and Alana Langan. Jacqui, founder of art retailer Signed & Numbered, together with Alana, an interior stylist and owner of online boutique ​Hunt & Bow, ​launched the business with a mission to produce beautiful, functional stands that allow people to get creative with their greenery.

Ivy Muse release second limited edition range of plant stands

Melbourne-based botanical wares studio IVY MUSE today launched Nightshade, their second collection of limited edition plant stands, and here’s a first look at them. To celebrate the follow-up to their inaugural collection in October, they commissioned renowned local ceramicist Ingrid Tufts to produce an exclusive range of pots to complement them.

Nightshade draws its inspiration from the simplicity of a winter sunset, with a pared back aesthetic and focus on intense colour. Each design is available in black and white, plus a limited edition colour unique to that design; Navy (Quay), Electric Blue (Arrow), Blush Clay (Empire) and Frost (Chrysalis).

Nightshade includes two smaller stands (Chrysalis and Quay) for pots to sit on (and in the Chrysalis) as well as two taller stands (Empire and Arrow). As with the previous collection, each IVY MUSE stand was designed to allow the customer maximum flexibility and creativity in the many ways they can house plants, and are suitable for a variety of pot sizes and shapes.

Tufts’ handmade limited edition pots are wheel-thrown from beautiful iron-bearing stoneware, then combined with soft pastel glazes to allow the clay to gently reveal its natural character. The pots are available in one size with three colour options (Marshmallow, Peach and Ice Blue).
