We’re chuffed to be working with a company that takes a thoughtful, big-picture approach to life on Earth. Hot Cactus — the umbrella group behind Cactus Store Studio, Nonhuman Teachers, and Geoponika — operates with a profound understanding that humanity is but one species in the grand story of evolution.

Rooted in a botanical mindset, they are a creative studio that thrives in the spaces where disciplines meet. Their work seeks to foster deeper, more conscious relationships between humans and the natural world, reminding us of our place within it.

With a design philosophy that is as thought-provoking as it is educational, their projects invite reflection on the choices we make and the impact of our existence. It’s this depth of perspective that makes us so proud to collaborate with them.

Design Dialogue:
“A species at war with itself is doomed.” This quote by Carl Sagan is about us,Homo stupidens. Well, actually, the original quote is a bit different, but the gist is the same. Point being, nature doesn’t acknowledge daft human distinctions like “American,” “enemy,” “self,” “other,” “border,” etc.

Yet somehow, this myth of separateness has so wormed its way into our self-concept that it has driven us completely mad, toward full-tilt colonization of other beings and environments. And though this all sounds grim, it’s actually good news. The hippies were right all along; we are all connected! For Pete’s sake already, let’s make love and not war because what we do to others, we do to ourselves!

Through multidisciplinary programming, new nature media, and immersive botanical spaces, we aim to ignite a sense of wonder about our rapidly changing Earth, not only to make us better citizens of this place but to help folks imagine it differently.
