Ivanka - Living Covering



IVANKA is debuting their 'Living Covering' project at the SaloneSatellite. Inspired by both the city grid and the moss that finds its way through the concrete, Living Covering is a decorative modular slab with premade niches for moss to grow within. It's a pretty way to add interest to a facade. This project actually reminds me of Anna Garforth's Sporeborne project, where she uses moss to create graffiti on walls.
