Wooly Pockets

I have developed this fantasy/plan of turning my living room into a jungle. When I mentioned this to my very design-savvy Mother, she immediately suggested Wooly Pockets. I am just astounded by this very simple product, that you can configure and adapt to create any whimsical plant-based art that you can imagine.

The most popular container seems to be the Wally pocket, which measures 15" high by 24" wide and can be multiplied to form blocks or rows of wall-mounted greenery both indoors and outdoors. The company boasts of a design that keeps interior walls safe and dry...I have my doubts but dreams of an oxygenated space may trump my fears of apartment eviction due to water damage.

Wooly Pockets also makes a curious product called Meadow, which is literally a large flat container that can be used to plant a garden literally anywhere.  Again, I fantasize about having an indoor garden party where guests mill about a grassy noll, perhaps furnished with a picnic blanket and lawn chair. So odd and marvelous at the same time!

Trunk and Dizanier by JEAN PAUL GAULTIER for ROCHE BOBOIS

image from roche-bobois.comFrom Jean Paul Gaultier's collection with Roche Bobois. I love the humor and modern glamour of these dressing room pieces. I am also seeing a possible DIY project...with interesting results if you find some great vintage suitcases.
