Living Modular Walls:

'Indoor air pollution causes 14 times more deaths than outdoor air pollution', reports the World's Health Organisation. American-based Environmental Protection Agency reports 'it is also one of five top environmental threats to human health'.
Hong Kong designer Francois Hurtaud has created the P.01 modular vegetal wall to help provide a cleaner living space. The modular P.01 wall uses LED's for photosynthesis and is an attractive addition to any eco-friendly home.
“The idea is to design a modular green wall system where plants, water and light create an “interior lung” to enhance air quality and create a luminous positive effect on workers and users,” explains Hurtaud.
