Green Fortune's Plantwall

Thanks to Hugg's most prodigious poster linton for tipping us off to the Plantwall, a "new way of integrating greenery in public spaces." "Urban cultivators" Green Fortune created the Plantwall as a means of bringing "the outside inside," and providing greenery without sacrificing floor space. The system integrates a drip-irrigation system that waters and fertilizes the plants to ensure they continue to provide beauty, as well as boosts of oxygen and humidity. Textiles incorporated into the design prevent too much moisture from spreading. As "lush" and "natural" are words that apply to way too few office spaces, we can see the Plantwall as not only a way to provide greenery and improved air quality, but perhaps even a bit of a morale boost. ::Green Fortune's Plantwall via Design Spotter
