Green pockets on Salone Satellite’09

Green pockets from Puerto Rico on Salone Satellite…

By Tanja Dordevic

Green pockets are ceramic tiles which fuse nature with the interior space, improving both air quality and health. They attach to the wall to create the illusion as if they were actually growing from them.

The tiles, made from recycled materials, serve as planters and their unique shape allows them to interlock, thereby creating different patterns depending on the vegetation planted.

This is the project of  young designer and architect Maruja Fuentes Viguié from Puerto Rico. Her approach to design emphasizes movement, adaptability and material exploration. Such exploration has led her to a passion for sustainable design and to try to make most of her work as eco-friendly as possible.
