Office Building Solutions by Autograph!

Many hotels and office buildings have built in planters running along walkways to shops and businesses. Sometimes these overlook an atrium with a variety of plants and sitting areas. Vines such as Pothos or Ivy plants softened the walls giving a natural feel. Sounds majestic but sometimes these are problems for the Interiorscaper. Often ledges with built in planters are not water tight or are in dangerous positions for maintenance.

Over time, Interiorscapers have come up with solutions to these dilemmas. Here at Autograph we have a number of realistic bushes and vines to replace the live plants while maintaining that natural look your clients desire. Installation is simple, quick, and easy to maintain once installed. All you will need is some hard foam, glue (if you have a need for extra security), and some top covering for over your foam, either mulch or
Autograph's artificial Spanish moss or pot coverings.

Stuff the container with hard foam and insert your plants along the container with varying lengths and trailers. Add a bit of glue for added security for those pesky pedestrians. Cover up any foam showing and you are set to jet! Easy to maintain with some occasional dusting. Always be sure to check with local fire codes and ask about our fire retardant foliage options. Another solution brought to you by Autograph Foliages!
 

Underplantings We've Known and Loved

   
The usual single specimen for interiors is often enhanced with "underplanting". The use of smaller, 6" greenery surrounding the taller specimen. Often used is Chinese Evergreen or Pothos just to mention two. Some add color in the form of Bromeliads, a vivid way to anchor the larger plant in an eye catching way.

 
All of the above are available from us here at Autograph in a really, really, authentic manner.  Every leaf, every vein replicates Mother Nature. 
 
Easily done, underplanting has become an accepted way to interiorscape. Well, may we suggest another look? One drawn from the exterior people and the pages of today's interest in healthy cooking?  What is that you ask? KALE! 

Yep, straight from your favorite cooking show, Flowering Kale looks good enough to eat. With the splash of color, either green/white or green/purple, and the ruffled leaves, Kale by Autograph is the perfect underplanting. And best of all, no care is needed.
 
And while you are scrutinizing on catalog page 244, look at the following page at the Pumpkins and Gourds. We are getting very near fall and harvest displays. Have fun with small seasonal displays in lobbies and restaurants!
 
NEW! Decorative Container Trends

Styles come and go in every design sector. Some may last for many years while some may be short lived. Here at Autograph we follow those trends up and down providing you with all of the cutting edge trends.


In our world there was a time when terracotta was popular and shiny metallic reigned supreme. Today it is black, bronze, and matte finish styles. Simple shapes are becoming popular with the contemporary push. Individual, well placed containers in ovals and squares make a visual statement these days. Marry your contemporary container with one of our artificial topiaries or trees and you have a 21st Century look. We also have pots theme containers for various occasions or those who just want to step out of the box.

A Cover Up
Back in the day Interiorscapers were asked by their clients for replica foliage for interior or exterior areas where maybe they wanted mass of greenery to hide pipes, awkward landscape elements, even to enhance gates and doorways. Whatever the use, they wanted realistic long lasting enhancements.

Enter the Autograph answer -Polyblend®. This material heavily fortifies the shrubbery to resist sun fading. The cheaper non-Polyblend® greenery may be less expensive but plastic or polyester will fade and can not be guaranteed. 

Autograph has developed an extensive menu of Polyblend® Outdoor ShrubberyPlus, all Polyblend® can be special ordered with Fire Retardant (IFR). In our catalogue you will find over 20 pages of Polyblend® products including hedges, trees, bushes, ferns, topiaries, palms, grasses, vines, hanging bushes, boxwood mats, bromeliads, bougainvillea and other flowering plants in a wealth of of natural vivid colors!
 
Interioscapers and Designers have used our Polyblend® and IFR material for high end, high visibility all over. So, gone are the days of "Blue" Plants. Now you can create your vision with product that meets your needs and makes your clients happy.  Call us to see what we can do for you!
