About the Living Art Vivarium: Reproducing nature's beauty where you live, work, and learn

Originally designed for nature enthusiasts like orchid collectors and poison dart frog keepers, The Living Art Vivarium helps you to recreate the ideal living conditions for your plants and animals – and do this in a way that adds significant value to your life as well. 

Thanks to advances in enclosure design, now you can easily control environmental factors like humidity, temperature, air & water movement, photo period, day/night cycles, and more.  These systems can be automated, giving you more time to enjoy your vivariums – and less time dealing with problems like algae, bacterial overgrowth, parasites, or mold. 

Function is paired with a minimalistic design so the enclosure becomes a work of living art instead of merely a place to keep plants and animals. 

It allows you to recreate sustainable natural habitats and put them on display wherever the restorative touch of nature is needed such as:

  • Personal living spaces
  • Individual office spaces
  • Business spaces, such as lobbies and waiting rooms
  • Primary and secondary educational facilities

Why "Nature Emulating"?

Miniature ecosystems often have issues with bacterial overgrowth, algae, parasites, and mold.  When part of the ecosystem becomes unbalanced, it throws off the whole ecosystem and a “crash” happens in the system. A crash can kill everything in the enclosure if not caught quick enough.

But, when we mimic natural habitats, we harness nature's power to self-correct.  We work WITH nature, using technology to recreate important functions like air cycling and water cycling, so that a healthy balance is achieved - and maintained - quickly and easily.

Scientists and hobbyists alike have seen the following results when mimicking natural ecosystems in enclosures:

  • Improved quality of life, resulting in longer life span for both plants and animals
  • Increases reproduction rates in both plants and animals
  • Improves flowering rates in orchids and other flowering plants
  • Reduces disease and other problems that often happen in traditional enclosures

This also means you spend less time managing the ecosystem and more time enjoying it.
