It seems so natural. Plants grow vertically. Urban environments sprout vertically. How to marry the two? The seed of the idea came to Stockholm-based design firm Green Fortune when clothing client Filippa K wanted to introduce foliage into one of its clothing stores. Plantwall was born — the perfect way to bring live greenery into the urban environment. Plantwall accommodates low-light conditions, and features auto-irrigation and low-maintenance solutions for space-challenged interiors, and walls of any height.

Green Fortune’s easy-to-use Streamgarden helps one grow fresh basil, chili peppers and the like without much soil or toil (hydroponically)!
