Boskke’s “Sky Planter” wall
Although we spotted these before, in terms of “eye catching,” the Boskke “Sky Planter” wall, (above) dominated the ICFF Design Boom exhibition hall. Simple and stark, the Boskke inverted planters dangled down exotic orchids, ferns and edibles, offering up natural beauty—even in a crowded convention center.
Boskke, which means “small forest” in old English; boasts of the Sky Planter’s ability to offer plants and greenery without sacrificing much-needed urban floor space. While floor space is of dire importance to most urban dwellers, the other benefits of indoor gardens aren’t too shabby, either—air purification and improved health are always good.
The upside-down design also conserves water by avoiding evaporation and drainage water-loss, feeding the plants gradually at the roots and filters air impurities. All that, and it still looks way better than a traditional potted Ficus.
