CANOPY is a collection of handmade, recycled glass products designed by LSA International and launched in collaboration with the Eden Project.

The Eden Project, an educational charity, connects us with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work towards a better future. Their visitor destination in Cornwall, UK, is nestled in the crater of a huge reclaimed china clay pit. Here, massive Biomes housing the largest rainforest in captivity, stunning plants, exhibitions and stories serve as a backdrop to the site’s striking contemporary gardens.

CANOPY is conceptually inspired by the idea that together we live as one community under the same canopy, and directly references the iconic structure of Eden's Biomes. The product range is centred around hydration and propagation and includes contemporary drinkware, planters and vases. All items are dishwasher safe and boxed in recycled, recyclable packaging printed with organic vegetable inks to further minimise the impact on the environment. 

Each item is sustainably manufactured from 100% recycled glass, embodying the environmentally conscious act of taking discarded material and turning it into something useful. This echoes the founding principle of the Eden Project, to transform and regenerate, exploring our dependence on the natural world and using that understanding to excite people into delivering transformation where they live.
