Fabric Garden
It is a 3D hyperbolic surface textile. PET recycled fibres substitute soil, creating a green module.
Fabric Garden is the first ever 3D hyperbolic surface textile. Composite PET recycled fibres substitute soil, creating a green module for planting. It can be used to green the exterior of buildings, or become a small farm on a family balcony. The soft textile and modular frame can be adapted to either a flat or curved exterior of a building, easily creating a large area green wall. Modules are fitted with a water supply system which can be connected directly to the water channel modules for regular irrigation. Planting different plants in different areas, creates an artistic appearance, pioneering a new generation of green building materials.
