Botanical Essence: Secret

The globe thistle has thorny flowers, but each of these thistles is a small bud, before the flowers bloom. After the flowers open, the globe thistle is transformed into a soft, fluffy flower.

About Sola Cubes

3.8 billion years ago life began on earth. And over millions of years multicellular life evolved into land plants and forests. The colors and shapes of flowers, fruits and seeds all have unique purposes and are as beautiful as they are functional.

The concept for Sola Cubes marries two traditional Japanese values: a reverence for nature and a philosophical appreciation of small, humble elements that are easily overlooked. Each cube is cast from crystal clear acrylic resin and then hand polished, right down to its crisp, micro-radiused edge. Considerable craftsmanship is required to make the cubes, ensuring that no air bubbles are present. Preserved inside is a single leaf, seed, or flower—individually or in groups, the cubes create an opportunity for a meditative moment on the beauty and power of the natural world. 

Each Sola cube is carefully handmade by an experienced Japanese craftsman, and each one takes considerable time and effort to complete. Outstanding craftsmanship is required to ensure that this small transparent cube, which measures only 4cm, holds a plant at its very center, ensuring that no air bubbles get inside.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

The nature-minded artisans at Usagi no Nedoko see plants through a quietly profound lens: as creations shaped by millions of years of earthborn wisdom. Each species, humble yet intentional, carries the refined logic of evolution—an expression of form and function worthy of deep attention.

To invite others to experience this quiet beauty, they began encasing cherished botanical specimens in clear acrylic resin—capturing each one at the height of its natural presence. In these transparent forms, the enduring spirit of the earth can be held, contemplated, and welcomed into daily life.
