“Paravert” is a vegetal alternative to textile drapes. Suspended from a curtain rail in front of a window, the plant-hung frame assures greater privacy in living and working spaces while simultaneously improving climatic conditions. The plants’ roots are attached to water-absorbent ropes. These draw water from the pipe tanks composing the frame and so continually provide the roots with sufficient moisture. This system is suitable for epiphytic vegetation. In their natural habitats epiphytes – orchids or ferns, for example – grow on trees or cliffs. They have no need of soil to flourish and hence open up new horizons in design.
