Green pockets: ceramic tiles for plants
The theme of vertical gardening of a city apartmentcontinues to interest designers. Indeed, placing indoor plants on usually empty walls is a great idea for green interior decor. Designer Maruja Fuentes from Puerto Rico created The Green Pockets, or more precisely, ceramic tiles made from recycled materials that work as planters for indoor plants.
Ceramic tiles Green pockets presentsare a functional finishing material. The tiles are made in the shape of fish scales, some of which are flat, and others are made in the shape of a pocket where you can plant a houseplant or put some small things. Flowerpots built into the wall create the illusion that the flowers are growing from inside the wall. There is no drainage of excess water in green pockets, so it is not recommended to plant directly in a ceramic pocket, it is better to put flowers planted in small pots. Or plant plants that do not require soil, for example, aerophytes that absorb moisture from the air. One option to use green pockets as ceramic tiles is to cover the walls of the kitchen with them, plant spices there and decorate salads with only fresh herbs!
Maruja Fuentes was an architect and environmental designer whose life was tragically cut short by cancer. Her work lives on and inspires other designers.
