Making living wall art
Patrick Blanc Interview
Jun 3rd
Patrick Blanc is the original vertical garden creator. Here’s an interesting interview he’s had where he gives more insight into the design process. It includes footage of several of his living wall creations. You can also see a living roof concept Chelsea Flower Show here as well. I’m a big fan of his hair.
Planter Tiles for your Wall
May 24th
These 3D tiles were designed by Maruja Fuentes and spotted at the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair by Inhabitat. The planters interlock allowing you to create a unique look for any wall in your home. Each tile has a little pocket you can stick a plant into. The bowl is small, but that just means you have to pick your plants carefully. There are also flat tiles that you can lay around the 3D tiles to achieve other interesting effects.
It’s an interesting idea. Fuentes studied environmental design in Puerto Rico and she’s trying to incorporate more greening in urban design which is nice to see. However, for there to be a notable environmental impact, you’d have to use a large number of the tiles. Watering would be an issue. But just for aesthetics, I think it looks amazing.
