《不如做植物》 (2019)
by Ruping Chen · Founder & Author, SEEDTON
This book traces the founder's personal journey—how a love for plants took root, and how that passion blossomed into the creation of SeedTon.
It tells the story behind the story: the search for creative inspiration, the decision to move the studio from the city to the mountains & forest, and the slow, quiet process of learning to live like a plant—grounded, present, and open to the rhythms of nature.
More than a memoir, it is an invitation: to notice the small wonders around us, and to find our own way back to the natural world.
Dried Botanicals: Timeless Textures(2021)
by Ruping Chen · Founder & Author, SEEDTON
Not all plants need to be fresh to be beautiful—dried botanicals hold a beauty that time cannot take away. This book uses fallen leaves, branches, leftover flowers from arrangements, and other natural materials as its medium. Using simple air-drying techniques, these plants are transformed into specimens, preserving their natural textures and unique forms. To give different plant specimens a proper home, we designed our own frames, vessels, glass cloches, and more—so that the beauty of vintage botanicals can live alongside us every day.
Preserved Botanicals: Everlasting Greenery(2022)
by Ruping Chen · Founder & Author, SEEDTON
Our love for the beauty of nature runs so deep that we wanted every object and artwork in our home to be connected to plants. This led us to develop a preservation technique for botanicals—one that keeps their colors vibrant for years. Combining the beauty of natural plants with the needs of everyday life, we have created a collection of works. May you, too, encounter the beauty of plants in every corner of your home.
