The Spheres were the result of thinking big about what is often lost in the workspace—a connection to nature. The idea was conceived by Amazon leaders, Amazon Horticulture and design partners.

Through every stage, on-staff horticulturists were consulted to ensure the connection to plant life, conservation, and biophilic design remained the primary focuses. Amazon Horticulture worked with botanical partners such as Atlanta Botanical Garden; University of Washington Biology Department; Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden; The Huntington Art Museum, Library, and Botanical Gardens; and San Francisco State University with the belief that the best way to save plants is to share them.
