The Air Bonsai consists of 2 main components, the “energy base,” made from Japanese ceramic, and the levitating “little star.” Both come with built-in magnets that enable the levitation. The base also comes with an AC adapter and needs to be plugged in.
Hoshinchu, the Kyushu-based workshop that created Air Bonsai, recently launched a crowd-funding campaign to bring their product to the market. It appears that the basic Air Bonsai set starts at $200 and they’re targeting a delivery date of August 2016.
Create something magical with the Air Bonsai Floating Star. With this device, seeing really is believing. Comprised of two parts, the energy base and a moss ball, this unique planter houses a real growing plant and magically suspends in the air. Focusing on balance and elegance, the plant delicately floats above the energy base and rotates to create a galaxy-like twirling display. The Air Bonsai is powered by built in magnets in the base and the moss ball. Choose to plant a bonsai or any plant of your choice and watch as it grows from the sponge inside the moss. With the ability to stay in position for years, you’ll create a delightful floating display unlike any other garden.
But note that the basic set is a DIY set and requires you to use your own plant. The workshop is offering various pre-made bonsai at higher pledge levels ($500 – $1,000) but, due to strict import restrictions, the plants will be procured locally and will likely differ from what’s pictured.
