Preview of Aroid Pillar
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Give climbing house plants a trunk to root into
A moss pole that behaves like a tree trunk for monsteras and philodendrons. Fill the square tube with damp sphagnum; aerial roots find the vertical slots and grow in. Each segment threads onto a bamboo cane through the floor, so the pillar grows with the plant one section at a time.

Preview of Strata Gauge
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Read soil layers in a settling jar
A sleeve for the gardener’s soil jar test. Shake a scoop of soil in a 500 ml jar of water, stand it in the sleeve and let it settle into strata as rocks do: sand in a minute, silt in hours, clay over a day. Read each layer through the window against the millimetre marks to find your soil type.

Preview of Tafoni Wall
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Hang air plants in sandstone-like hollows
A wall garden for air plants after tafoni, the honeycomb hollows wind carves into sandstone cliffs. Seven round cavities of different sizes open in the face; air plants sit on the floor behind the low ones and on the inner shelf behind the high ones, sheltered but in full air and light.

Preview of Causeway
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Sort knitting needles and hooks by length
A stand for knitting needles and crochet hooks built like the Giant’s Causeway. Five hexagonal basalt columns step down from 200 to 40 mm, so long straight needles go in the tall column and double points, cables and hooks in the shorter ones, each sorted by length and in reach.

Preview of Travertine Falls
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Cascade water through stepped pools at bath time
A bath and paddling-pool toy that copies the terraces of Pamukkale. Pour water into the tall pool and it brims over the lowered side rims into two side pools, which spill in turn over their low front weirs into the long pool in front, just as mineral springs build their stepped basins rim by rim.

Preview of Seed Crystal
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Hang seed crystals in a jar of solution
A cap for growing crystals at home. Turn it over a wide jar of hot saturated alum, salt or sugar solution, tie a seed crystal to each of three threads through the holes and let them hang at different depths. The engraved labels keep track of which solution grows which habit.

Preview of Haptera
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple
MAIN PURPOSE: Stand a 3 mm fan, sign or plate upright
The foot for the Gorgonia fan, after a kelp holdfast, the clutch of branching rootlets that anchors kelp against waves. Seven forked haptera spread to a 112 mm footprint, and the slot from one side to past the centre grips any 3 mm plate upright: the sea fan, an acrylic sign or a printed name plate.

Preview of Frustule
By Krypto
Complexity
Multi-part assembly
MAIN PURPOSE: Keep sewing needles and pins in a slim case
A needle case shaped like a diatom. Diatoms live in glass boxes of two halves, one sliding over the other like a pill box; this lanceolate case does the same with a snug telescoping lid, and a central nodule divides sewing needles from pins.

Preview of Kairou
By Krypto
Complexity
Multi-part assembly
MAIN PURPOSE: Keep a pair of rings in a lattice tower
A keepsake tower for a pair of wedding rings, after the Venus flower basket, a deep sea glass sponge whose lattice often houses a pair of shrimp for life, given in Japan as a symbol of lasting marriage. The rings rest on the inner post behind the diagonal lattice; engrave initials below.

Preview of Mermaid Purse
By Krypto
Complexity
Multi-part assembly
MAIN PURPOSE: Carry small essentials on a key ring
A pocket case for earplugs, a SIM tool and spare coins shaped like a skate egg case, the mermaid’s purse found on beaches. Its four curling horns anchor the egg to seaweed; here one horn eye takes a key ring or lanyard, and the snug lid follows the same outline.
