Folding Greenhouse by Daniel Schipper

Dutch designer Daniel Schipper has developed this self-supporting folding greenhouse; he writes "A light-weight, flexible, modular greenhouse especially suitable for small spaces like cityhouses, balconies, roof terraces or town gardens. My folding greenhouse is a frameless folding construction made of different components of recyclable plastic which can be folded flat or expand when required."
Schipper is the king of origami; see below the fold for a folding shelter, made from misprinted milk packaging.

The folding greenhouse is such a great idea!! I have a yard but I'd love to have this little gadget in the summer time so I can have a lovely garden on my patio!! Plus my hubby and dog would love it since it wouldnt affect their grassy backyard!
Where do they sale the port-a-green house
I went to his personal website to see where I could buy the greenhouse. Unfortunately, it is not in production yet. He is looking for funding.
