We design custom-scale glass enclosures for penthouse entries, dining consoles, and corporate atriums.
Behind the quiet beauty lies a balanced biological machinery. Each layer performs a crucial hydrological or micro-climatic duty, creating perpetual equilibrium.
Hand-blown soda-lime or optical borosilicate glass designed with precise optical curvature to capture indirect photons and induce internal rain condensation cycles.
Rare bryophytes, micro-ferns, and miniature epiphytes arranged by humidity stratification. Micro-faunal springtails groom the ecosystem, preventing decay and mould.
Custom-milled tropical orchid bark, sphagnum, perlite, and a layer of virgin activated coconut charcoal to purify stagnant moisture, prevent sour soil, and neutralize odors.
Porous volcanic pumice, lightweight expanded clay aggregates (LECA), and a fine permeable mesh barrier that separates roots from standing water reservoirs.

Our master botanist will review your interior specs and respond with custom sketches within 24 hours.
Every handcrafted terrarium undergoes a strict 30-day biological incubation in our greenhouse before release. Once delivered to your home or office, you receive:
Installed in celebrated residential architecture and private collections internationally.
"The Imperial Bell Jar arrived in custom timber crating without a single grain of volcanic charcoal displaced. It sits in my library, completely self-sufficient and mesmerizing to look at during evening reading."
"We commissioned Shakhi for three custom demijohns for a penthouse atrium in Tribeca. The jewel orchid foliage and micro-faunal life cycle have been thriving flawlessly for over two years now."
"Far superior to ordinary houseplants. There is a sacred, meditative presence in looking into a sealed, miniature forest canopy created with such reverence for botanical provenance."
Founded by botanical artist Parvathy, Shakhi began as an exploration into closed-loop ecological micro-climates. We practice ethical foraging: our wild mosses are exclusively harvested from permissible forestry concessions and fallen timber beds—never stripping old-growth wild colonies.
We propagate 70% of all bryophytes in our humidified nursery to protect vulnerable ecosystems.
Our glass bells and orbs are individually blown by studio glass artists across Sweden and Vermont.
