Grass For The Office

Who doesn’t want a piece of nature in the office? The designers of Nine99 created delicious grass squares to give a natural touch to the office or home by placing them freely or according to feng-shui. The entire project is made of recycled materials and tries to merge the home with the outdoors. “Unlike ordinary flowers, grass is completely natural, a piece of earth, that grows indoors with minimal care.” As you can see, it’s not just about a piece of ordinary grass, but rather about the lovely package. The packages have an air opening to gain longer shelf live for the product.
