I Got a Pocket Full of Sunshine, Oh

green_pockets_maruja_fuentes_2

Need some plants for your wall? These Green Pockets by Maruja Fuentes are mounted tiles made from recycled materials that elevate the houseplant to new heights.

Fuentes says the tiles fuse nature with the interior space, improving both air quality and health. The goal is to create the the illusion that the plants are actually growing from the wall installations.  The unique shape allows the sculpted half-domes to interlock, resulting in a variety of  patterns depending on the vegetation planted.

    I’ve never seen such mod planters before! Totally unique. Love the way they look with the flat scalloped pieces, too.

    Have to agree with everyone here, these are very cool and look great. Almost a reason to cover your entire house with tiles!
