The African landscape is incomplete without the iconic Baobab tree. The pod-like fruit of these trees is the starting point in the story of Seedling Design. The firm, founded by Fabiana and Roberto who have a background in Architecture and Urbanism,  is driven by concepts of sustainability and eco-friendly alternatives. 

Dried Baobab Pod becomes a lamp with minimal additions.

The enterprise combines modern technology and traditional wisdom to create unique lamps and homeware. The technological intervention is minimal and focus is on creating a unique handcrafted product.

Each product is unique because each pod is unique.

When nature inspires, each piece is unique with its own identity. The surface decor of tiny holes is created manually and is a result of the intended function of the product. 

Simplicity in design of the snack bowl.

The products from Seedling Designs are rustic but exude a certain charm. They are like a breath of fresh air in the world full of mass-produced, single-sue products that are as far from nature as can be.
