Este tipo de diseño realmente me emociona. Especialmente en momentos donde hay mucho hype sobre la escases de ciertos productos. Este tipo de "Eco Furniture" podria ser el principio de un cambio nuestra persepción. Como esta gente ya esta haciendo. Dirán "no es lo mismo que tener plantas en potes?", y la contestación es no! Es un mini ecosistema que se sostiene. Renewable systems are the future my friends.via COOLHUNTING
French designer Mathieu Lehanneur (featured in the recent Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit) has taken the locavore concept to a practical level with his Local River exhibit at Artists Space in Manhattan.
The concept is a small aquarium stocked with freshwater fish that feeds off a small vegetable patch. The plants extract nutrients and purifies the water for the fish; similar techniques are used on farm-raised Tilapia with lettuce planted on trays on the pond surfaces.
The exhibit is a collaboration with curator Anthony van den Bossche of Duende Studio.
