BACSAC®, born in Paris in 2008, is a French company that creates flexible plant containers and gardening tools.
While nature is BACSAC®'s source of inspiration, the city is their preferred terrain. Lack of access to ground soil, contaminated earth, weight and space constraints: a BACSAC® is a plot of land on the pavement.
BACSAC®'s ambition is to offer a relevant, practical, and sustainable solution to the multiple challenges posed by reintroducing nature into the city and to address all space configurations: from the smallest balcony to large-scale landscaping projects.
Just unfold it and fill it with soil!
A layer of clay pebbles is not necessary for drainage, but is useful for creating a natural water reservoir.
Your BACSAC® is washable and foldable if you wish to store it away.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Due to contact with soil and outdoor life, traces of moss or limescale may appear on the fabric. To clean them, it couldn't be simpler:
1. Scrape off surface deposits with a knife blade
2. Scrub the marks using a stiff brush dipped in a mixture of hot water and white vinegar
3. Rinse the fabric with clear water
Very effective for moss but less so for limescale, the fabric can also be cleaned with a high-pressure jet.
Once emptied of its soil, your BACSAC is also machine washable at 30°C.
PRINCIPLE: In a traditional pot, roots grow in a spiral along the wall, which can create a root ball that weakens the plant, especially in extreme temperatures. In a BACSAC®, the root system is denser and more balanced. When the root reaches the textile wall, its growth stops upon contact with the air, and the plant develops new roots. The roots thus seek nutrients throughout the entire surface of the soil ball, promoting harmonious plant growth.
TECHNIQUE: Designed to be in direct contact with the soil, the BACSAC® is a container made of a double wall: an inner geotextile felt that holds and protects the roots, combined with an outer fabric that is ultra-resistant to tearing, abrasion, and temperature variations.
PERMEABLE: The technical distinctiveness of the BACSAC® is its permeability, which preserves the necessary balance between air, soil, and water, thus approximating open-ground conditions. Indeed, it must be permeable to allow the soil and roots to breathe and to let excess water drain/evaporate. Plants cannot thrive in an airtight container without air or drainage. To protect your floors, place a saucer underneath.
DURABLE: With a lifespan of 7 to 10 years, the BACSAC® is a sustainable product. It does not break, deform, or fade. The materials it is made of are designed to be in contact with the soil and to withstand outdoor conditions, even extreme ones, throughout the year. Its fibers are entirely recyclable.
VERSATILE: Offering significant depth and soil capacity, the BACSAC® is suitable for all types of crops, whether vegetable or ornamental. Its multiple shapes and sizes allow it to adapt to various outdoor space configurations.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE: The BACSAC® has been designed to be nomadic and easy to move. Its lightness allows it to bypass potential weight constraints when installed on a balcony or terrace. Flexible, the soil gives it its shape; it is therefore non-injurious and suitable for both children and adults.
PRACTICAL: Simply unfold it and fill it with soil! A layer of clay pebbles is not necessary for drainage but is useful for creating a natural water reservoir. Your BACSAC® is washable (see our care instructions below) and foldable if you wish to store it.
"THE CITY IS A GARDEN, LET US CULTIVATE ITS EVERY CORNER."
BACSAC® was born in Paris in 2008, from an inspired meeting between a designer with a passion for nature, Godefroy de Virieu, and two landscape architects committed to bringing nature back into the city, Virgile Desurmont and Louis de Fleurieu.
Together, they dreamed of a freer nature in the city, unburdened by weight and space constraints, and set out to find an alternative to the traditional pot offerings that would meet the challenges of setting up a patch of nature.
They invented a new type of geotextile container - flexible, lightweight, and portable. The idea of planting in bags stems from this desire to change habits, to value what needs to be valued – the plants – and to return to the simple principle of containing soil to cultivate it. A fabric to which they gave shapes and uses, allowing for the cultivation of the city in its every corner. Aesthetic, intelligent, and simple-to-use objects, at the crossroads of design and landscape.
Since then, BACSAC®’s roots have branched out to weave their way onto windowsills, balconies, terraces, and gardens in many cities around the world, facilitating access to soil as a response to asphalt.
BACSAC® is a human-scale company guided by a family spirit that is open to the world.
All models are designed in the BACSAC® Parisian studio, the fabrics come from French and Italian suppliers, and the manufacturing is carried out by their long-standing partner in Romania.
