Bioblinds
Bioblinds offer a free, open-source impulse for construction plans for plant curtains for everybody
Bioblinds are a future-oriented combination of digital innovation and everybody's own sustainability imperative, which can be fulfilled individually through our do-it-yourself design for plant curtains. Bioblinds stand for kinetic greenery of glass surfaces. We see Bioblinds as an impetus for green cities that make sensible use of the possibilities of the platform economy. Using an open-source online configurator, every person in the world should be able to construct a functional, living outdoor curtain with special tendril plants (also edible plants like Kiwi, berries or wine) and our mechanism. Our impulse for plant curtains can be adapted with normal products from any hardware or plant store. Bioblinds want to engage as many people as possible in 'The Green Skyline Initiative' to share their experiences and findings.
This project is future-oriented, designed for a democratic use and constant collaborative development. Currently, we work on roses Bioblinds for a cowshed for cows.
