Plaid Pigeon is a small design shop created by Megan Briggs and Ian Mailhot. The two have focused on upcycling objects for unique items such as their series of planters they have created by hand.
The Dinosaur Planter series by Plaid Pigeon uses old dinosaur toys that remind me of my childhood. Plaid Pigeon creates an orifice inside the dinosaur and a housing for the soil that the plant needs to grow in. These handmade, recycled planters are the perfect addition to any room.
