Sustainable Design Brand ame Launches Handmade Recycled-Plastic Planter “TSUYU”

Honda Plus Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture; President and CEO: Takamitsu Honda) will launch “TSUYU,” a handmade planter from its sustainable design brand ame. The product uses recycled plastic and features a one-of-a-kind appearance for each piece. “TSUYU” is a planter with a distinctive visual expression created by layering vividly colored recycled resin. The handmade color lines are drawn one by one, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. Its complex shine under light evokes the shimmer of a water surface and beautifully enhances the natural vitality of plants. Although it has a substantial appearance, the planter is surprisingly lightweight when held. Unlike ceramic or glass, it is resistant to breakage, making daily watering, repotting, and layout changes easier. It combines strong interior presence with everyday usability. The gently widening boat-shaped silhouette is suitable not only for a single green plant but also for succulent arrangements. “TSUYU” is sold as a set with a tray made from the same material and design philosophy as the planter body. By extending the unique character of recycled materials to the tray, the product creates a unified look across the space. From the moment it arrives, it can turn a windowsill or desk area into a refined display space. “TSUYU” is crafted with attention to creating a different expression in every piece, from material selection to molding and finishing. By uniquely processing recycled plastic and finishing each item by hand, ame achieves a texture and presence not found in mass-produced goods. The planter and tray together embody the world view of the ame brand. The product comes in five carefully selected colors that can serve as interior accents: ayame, matsuba, momo, kuchinashi, and sasa. The 13 model measures approximately 13 × 9.6 × 7.5H cm externally, with a bottom size of 5.9 × 5.8 cm. Internal dimensions are 11.1 × 7.7 cm at the top, 6.1 × 5.6 cm at the bottom, and 6.7 cm in height. Capacity is 0.3L. The set includes the planter body and tray, priced at 6,490 yen including tax. The 15 model measures approximately 14.9 × 11.4 × 9.2H cm externally, with a bottom size of 5.9 × 5.8 cm. Internal dimensions are 13.7 × 10 cm at the top, 6.2 × 6.5 cm at the bottom, and 8.2 cm in height. Capacity is 0.5L. The set includes the planter body and tray, priced at 7,480 yen including tax. ame is a sustainable brand developed by Honda Plus Co., Ltd., a plastic molding manufacturer founded in 1946.
