Awarded third place in the 3D-Design Competition in October of 2011, Breathable Roots is a wall-hanging planter, which oxygenates its greenery’s roots through the tunnels created by the interconnectedness of the skin’s membrane. Excess water falls into a smaller, detachable piece located at the bottom. Special thanks to Bart Veldhuisen, the rest of the Shapeways team, who manufactured the design, my friend Renaldo Qafzezi, who helped to spread the word, Jack Sigel, who photographed the piece, and the rest of my family and friends. Anyone who is interested in this design, please feel free to contact me regarding sizes or any other modifications.
