I was recently contacted by Terapia Urbana who are committed to developing urban greening tools and solutions to ease the effects of global warming, inefficient energy consumption and excessive CO2 emissions that many of our cities now face. The one particular product I am very interested in is the slimgreenwall which is a hassle free living Interior wall. How does it work? Well it purifies the air by recycling excessive Co2 in the atmosphere, creates a barrier for sound pollution, and with the excess carbon dioxide out of the office air, it increases productivity and happiness. What I like about this product is that it isn't just some conceptual idea, a pipe dream created by some idealistic designers, it is fully functioning, operational and available to purchase in the UK through Scotscape. The image above is the product at the Ayesa Advanced Technologies Office in Seville, Spain. How great does it look fixed onto that neutral wall! That's all well and good I hear you say, but it must take ages to clean and maintain? Well in fact no, it is self sufficient, self cleaning and has automatic irrigation all included. Just install and reap the benefits of cleaner air in your home, office or any space you deem imaginable.
In a world where the word 'eco' has become a gimmick and nonchalantly used in everyday speak, it is great to see a product which is feasible, believable and beneficial to everyday people in everyday Interiors.

Interior Design student Natalie Fordham, has created an online blog cataloguing her progress on the Design Ethics module of her course. The blog explores the use of materials, notably the cardboard tubes of Shigeru Ban and the vaulted plywood segments of IwoMotoScott's 'Voussior Cloud' (pictured). What this blog creates is a foundation for her to systematically explore and share ideas and inspiration that range from human to organic form. This format of blog writing in a way of showing the creative process of a design project, should be done more often by students. It is a great way to self-promote and shows a great understanding for design and the project. Check out her blog now at http://nataliefordham.blogspot.com/ IwoMotoScott's 'Voussior Cloud' |
