Styling "Lalande" from Dirty Roots Berlin's Outer Worlds Collection in Your Home

In the Outer Worlds series from Dirty Roots Berlin, each piece stands as a singular handcrafted sculpture that turns plant care into a deliberate moment of connection. "Lalande", inspired by the gentle light of its namesake red dwarf star, captures this through smooth concrete spheres joined with raw lava rock and supported on a shared stability tray. The seamless mix of refined curves and volcanic surfaces forms a compact earthly terrain in warm neutrals with golden touches, suggesting far off planetary vistas: quiet depth, natural variation, and a peaceful cosmic balance that feels eternal and quietly extraordinary.

Here are styling tips drawn from Lalande's palette (soft concrete warmth alongside lava rock earthiness), forms (twin spheres rising from textured supports), and mood (harmonious celestial scenes with subtle centering pull meets calm unity) :

1. Welcoming Centerpiece in an Entryway Console Place:

  Lalande in the middle of a clean marble or walnut console near your door. Its compact height and unified shape encourage a brief pause upon entering, creating a small inviting world. Fill the spheres with sturdy crassula plants, their plump leaves echoing the rounded volumes while adding fresh green life against the muted tones. This works beautifully in bright entry halls where natural daylight brings out the lava rock details and golden streaks, establishing a warm grounded feel from the moment you step inside.

Lalande’s strength is how effortlessly it adapts to different plant personalities without losing its visual balance. While crassula emphasizes the sculptural echo between leaf and form, choosing different plants allows entirely new moods to emerge from the same object.

For a softer, more atmospheric look, leafy plants such as calathea or maranta bring gentle movement and pattern into the composition. Their graphic veining contrasts beautifully with the calm concrete surface, while their tendency to subtly shift leaves throughout the day adds a quiet sense of life. These plants prefer indirect light and slightly moist soil, making them ideal for entryways that receive filtered daylight but avoid harsh sun.

If you want Lalande to feel fresher and more architectural, Pilea Involucrata or Moon valle Pilea creates a lighter, almost playful presence. Its sharp, dark leaves mirror the spherical planters while standing out through their upright stems and airy spacing. Pilea thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates regular but moderate watering, allowing the planter to remain visually crisp without becoming dense or heavy.

For a more grounded, serene effect, ferns soften the stone textures with fine, feathery foliage. Their delicate fronds spill gently outward, creating contrast against the solid base and lava rock support. Ferns enjoy higher humidity and evenly moist soil, making them well suited for entry halls where air circulation is gentle and temperatures remain stable.

2. Vanities or Dressing Tables:

Quiet Presence on a Vanity or Dressing Table Draw on the soothing color range by setting Lalande in private areas that call for calm focus. On a vanity next to a brushed metal mirror or glass containers, keep company minimal with items like crystal jars or soft linen. The earthy warmth encourages ease, ideal for daily routines. Choose variegated jade plants for light contrast, the spheres' steady form inviting small moments of reflection during your day.

3. Lounge Corners : Evening Warmth in Cozy Lounge Corners Make the most of Lalande's gentle glow by placing it in reading spots or side tables under warm lamp light. The paired spheres catch the soft rays, emphasizing concrete polish and lava rock depth for a subtle moonlit quality. Surround with thick knit blankets or velvet pillows in matching neutrals. This transforms quiet evenings into a comforting ritual, merging the set's unique textures with inviting ambiance.

Lalande goes beyond planting; it acts as a visual and emotional touchstone, handcrafted in Berlin and ready for worldwide shipping. Whether enriching a modern gallery style apartment or a softly layered sanctuary, it brings understated stellar calm to your surroundings. Which space will you welcome its gentle influence into?
