Metaphys factory garden grass
With the goal to bring the lawn indoors, Tokyo based product designer Chiaki Murata of Metaphys has designed a stylish product range of stackable white mod grass planters. The Factory product range brings the natural world indoors in style. The individual planters can be stacked, hung or laid on your coffee table. “The Metaphys products are designed with the common idea and they are consistent with the idea even though different companies produce the products: the idea is that all the creative process should start from “observation.” By observing things, you have the perspectives of the second and the third persons, and thereby you can avoid being subjective. It represents “a discipline that explores the basic principle of all existences.” What we think is necessary is really necessary for everyday life? One of our missions is to examine how important the existence of a product is in this world of the excessive production.” Style-pd.com.

[...] Se avete una casa bunker con poche finestre e poco ossigeno, ecco Metaphysmain, un’idea carina per portare un po’ di verde ed una ventata di natura all’interno della vostra abitazione. Il designer giapponese Chiaki Murata ha pensato di realizzare questi complementi d’arredo con erbetta incorporata: sarà necessario curare il verde che altrimenti crescerà in modo spropositato, ma volete mettere il gusto di avere dei mobili/pianta? I complementi modulari si possono aggiungere e mixare per adornare in modo originale e naturalistico qualche triste e spoglia parete…ma non bastava una pianta? Direte voi. E invece no, ci vogliono oggetti dal design minimal e con un valore aggiunto possibilmente eco-friendly. Questo il diktat del momento… (via inhabitat) [...]

[...] While it doesn’t exactly undo the damage our glass-and-concrete structures have on the environment around them, Metaphys’ stackable indoor grass planters, by designer Chiaki Murata, are a step in the right direction. Unfortunately the Metaphys website is all in Japanese (click here for Google-translated version), but you can take a look at different configurations of the planters here. [...]
