Each plant finds its place to ensure plant diversity<\/strong> and visual balance. Invented rocks organize currents, suctions, discharges, and turbulence to support the vitality of the biotope. When the dreamed image meets rigorous design, the aquarium becomes a landscape artwork<\/strong>.

The studio has developed the concept of ecosculpture<\/strong>: an aquarium that is sometimes open to aerial flora, where filtering roots contribute to water quality and where the mineral sculpture remains the foundation of the whole.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
