Mall Silks News is a monthly newsletter dedicated to providing Mall Silks clients with relevant information about the artificial plant industry.  Mall Silks News features information about current Mall Silks projects, new products, specials and general industry news and information about the replica plant industry. 

 

Earlier this month Mall Silks shipped out numerous custom hedges and artificial plants that were used to decorate the new United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, WV. The design phase of the project began last year when a representative from an architectural firm contacted Mall Silks to provide a design for the built-in planters that would be used in the space. The main features of the installation were the built in planters on the first and second floors of the building. The planters were used as space dividers in the waiting areas of the hospital.  In addition to supplying custom artificial hedges and artificial plants for the large planters, Mall Silks supplied 44 containerized artificial plants as accents in other areas of the hospital.  The custom hedges for the project were made using Mall Silks’ artificial Shady Lady Olive foliage.  This foliage made a very dense but not structured hedge.  There were multiple Bamboo, False Aralia, Ming Aralia, and Dracaena Marginata bushes made on natural wood for the project as well.  For filler and a little added color, pothos vine and bromeliads were used.  All materials were either built with IFR (inherently fire retardant) foliage, or the foliage was dipped in a fire retardant chemical to flame retard all products used on the project. 

All materials were ready and were shipped on schedule to the hospital. The installation took a total of four days to complete. The client is very satisfied and the project was a success.

One of the plants mentioned in this month’s project profile is the False Aralia. This plant is custom-made when it is ordered, using natural maple wood for the trunks and artificial False Aralia stems and leaves.  This plant can be made from small bush forms to plants over 15 ft. tall. Because of the very detailed foliage, this plant is very realistic.  Due to the nature of the plant being very open and airy, it is a great fit for the current minimalistic design trend. It does not completely hide or block other elements that may be behind it in the space where it is displayed. The foliage can also be fire retardant.  To order this attractive plant, please contact us at sales@mallsilks.com, visit our site to send us an inquiry at http://www.mallsilks.com/contact.htm, or call 888-745-5701.


It is always a present design trend to "think outside of the box"! But now, more than ever, clients want something different but they do not want to pay more money for it. One suggestion is to use familiar materials in new ways.  This month’s project profile showcases a low hedge form of our Shady Lady Olive tree foliage. This foliage is usually used to make our Shady Lady Olive Trees and large hedges. However, it was used to make short hedges on this project and it turned out great. They even resemble a small arboricola plant (a widely used interior landscape plant). This type of idea can be implemented into interior spaces when using other types of materials as well. Anytime you can think of a slightly different way to use familiar products, you have come up with a new idea and you will impress and satisfy your clients. At Mall Silks, our motto is “If you can imagine it, we can build it”. If you see one of our products that you would like to modify or of you are inspired and want to see if we can create a totally new product for you, please let us know. We are always up for the challenge.
