Rainforest by Patrick Nadeau for Boffi







French designer Patrick Nadeau has created an installation for Italian brand
Boffi, consisting of hanging domes covered in living plants. Called
Rainforest, the installation comprises a series of Corian frames held
together with cable ties. A type of hanging Spanish moss called Tillandsias
usneoïdes, which doesn¹t need soil, is draped over these frames. The domes
are suspended from the ceiling and used to light the Boffi product displays.
The installation was displayed during Designer¹s Days in Paris, the London
Design Festval and Milano Design-in-the-City. Photographs are by Aurélien
Mirofle and Fillioux & Fillioux.
