Explore plantārium
Let curiosity
bring you inside
A sustainable living complex in Taipei’s Xinyi District, bringing together in-house brands, reading, curation and exchange.
For today, and for a better everyday tomorrow
In 2020 the pandemic and extreme weather arrived together. Both come from how much of the earth we have been using up, and both landed in our daily lives. The only way back is to change our relationship with nature at the source.
So we work on promoting and practising sustainability, and on making carbon reduction something people actually do.
plantārium comes from the Latin for “nursery”, a place where things are grown. We are building a platform for shared good, one that draws people in quietly.
Starting from plants,
building a better society and everyday life
Responsibility
Living in a way that is kind to the planet, and supporting young people as they grow.
Empathy
Standing for the equal interests of all living things, and sowing kindness and hope.
Sincerity
Building an environment of shared good. People first, honesty at the core.
Pureness
Treating people, animals and the earth with care, and showing issues as they really are.
Eco-friendliness
We are part of nature, not outsiders. We promote sustainable living and low-carbon vegetarian food.
Connection
Actively making connections, and becoming a cross-disciplinary platform that links every one of us.
Technology & Transparency
Using technology well, following what is happening globally and giving back, and joining up online and offline resources.
One step at a time, still going
plantārium opens
5 June is also World Environment Day, which made the opening date meaningful. As a co-creation platform, we hope to gather people from every field and help the green economy grow.
First anniversary
Still connecting people and ideas through space, events and partnerships.
Third anniversary
Three years since the concept space opened, with more than 8.86 million grams of carbon avoided.
