ABOUT

Pistachio Playground is an industrial design studio and online retailer based in Los Angeles.

Founded in 2019, with the aim of designing products to brighten your everyday lives. Pistachio specializes in whimsical and minimal designs. We see the design process as a game of "turning complicated problems into simple and * aesthetic * solutions".

In 2020, we launched our original house plant trellises that are made in our original whimsical designs and carefully manufactured using steel and commercial grade powder-coating finish. Our trellises are made to be durable and to last a lifetime. 

Our unique designs feature a broad range of styles and each one is designed with the the unique characteristics and needs of each types of house plants in mind. Our contemporary finishes fills a void in the market as house plants continue to grow as a mainstay in home interior designs.  

We aim to make house plants keeping * aesthetic * with designs that are as much fun as it is functional.
