french designer grégory marion has created ‘clothes peg for plants’, a system of delicate stakes that pinch and support overgrown plants.

mimicking both the form and function of the traditional clothes peg, the re-interpreted object secures itself to the side of a pot where it twists and bends to accommodate the organically growing vegetation.

the clothes pegs are handcrafted from wood and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing them to suspend other precious objects as well. 

forks allow the pegs to clamp to a variety of objects
