Furnibloom

Ever wanted to bring nature closer? Well now you got the perfect chance!

With Furnibloom you can grow a variety of plants on your own balcony or anywhere you could place a table and some chairs. Furnibloom was created by landscape architect Dagný Bjarnadóttir and is actually a set of plexiglas furniture.

Initially created in 2007, the hybrid furniture has maintained a low profile despite its timely design. Included in Iceland’s forward-thinking festival DesignMarch, Furnibloom finally takes the international stage at Shanghai’s 2010 World Expo as part of the Nordic Lighthouse exhibition, on display through 15 August 2010.

These pieces of furniture can house a variety of plants. This is possible by creating a good micro climate for the vegetation to grow inside day-to-day furniture, such as chairs or tables. A double functionality is ensured. First off, one could actually plant vegetables within such unusual furniture (we read this is possible). Its aesthetic feature is obvious: these tables and chairs are absolutely lovely and they have the means to cheer up any interior or entertainment outdoor space.
