At ECHT NEP, I transform the everyday into the extraordinary.
Since 2022, my plants have been more than just ordinary houseplants; they are artworks born from my unique vision of sustainability and creativity. Each piece is handcrafted from old clothing and home textiles, making every design eco-friendly.
As the designer behind ECHT NEP, I blend style with a conscious lifestyle. I draw inspiration from the vibrant textures and colors of repurposed materials, turning each plant into a story of transformation and renewal. The result is a collection of plants that make a green statement without requiring a green thumb.
ECHT NEP offers more than just visual appeal.
My plants symbolize contribute to a more sustainable world. Whether you’re brightening up your home, enlivening an office space, or looking for a unique gift.
I also provide a unique service: you can supply your own textiles, and I will create a custom plant just for you. This personal touch ensures that your plant is not only a beautiful addition to your space but also a meaningful keepsake.

Welcome to the world of ECHT NEP, where old textiles find new life.
