casa helecho
Home to delicate ferns or hearty cacti, the terrarium is a little urban sanctuary of green. Casa Helecho or "Fern House" in English - evokes the origins of these miniature greenhouses which were invented by a man who could not grow his ferns in the dirty city. Terrariums are the perfect urban garden: compact, whimsical and easy to maintain indoors.
Through Vashali Maria Designs, Vashali styles for events, photo shoots, galleries, offices, and homes. Her terrariums are available for individual sale through Casa Helecho.
Vashali was raised by a mom from Argentina and a father from India. Both architects and urban planners in the 70's, they introduced Vashali to a green world, from the Burle Marx Gardens in Rio to the Barnes Foundation near by.
In 2004 Vashali took courses at Parsons School of Design in order to realize her concept of bringing "the outside in." The terrariums made by Casa Helecho incorporate several design innovations so the striking creations keep maintenance minimal.
Stay tuned for up coming sales and events. Many of the terrariums are on display at The Green Room NYC. For wholesale inquiries, please contact Amanda Parenti at www.thegreenroomnyc.com.
Vashali also participates in the Lower East Side's collective Hester Street Fair on Saturdays: www.hesterstreetfair.com.

I work with living plants and cannot guarantee an exact replica of the terrariums you see on this site. I forage for various plants weekly and I do not always find the same things so please let me know what your needs are and I will work with you to make a piece you love and get the timing just right for a gift or an event.
I look forward to hearing from you!
