Green Pocket Tiles
If you aspire to have a little kitchen garden for herbs and baby greens, these Green Pockets would be an elegant place to start. The small planters affix to the wall, interspersed with flat tile to make a three-dimensional, botanical display out of a backsplash or wall.


The curving geometry of the ceramic tiles shows up in some of Fuentes's other work with a variety of scales and functions. Scaled up, a similar shape becomes what she calls a "leaning mold"—wall-mounted seating in which the protruding tiles are a place to rest your elbow or take a load off.

These are a wonderfully modern expression of the wall-planters I love seeing in Puerto Rico, (and also in other parts of the world with adobe, stucco, etc. buildings). I also saw these featured on another site recently. I love anything that brings the garden indoors as we approach winter. Thanks Dwell! -Michaela
Absolutely amazing planters. Wall hung plants and wall planters are a hot design recently.
Wow! These are a fantastic idea. It would be great to see a fully grown wall of these tiles. The key element is the fact that the tiles would look great even if planting failed, so not as hit & miss as some of the green-wall kits out there. Great garden idea...
