Vertigo is a balcony garden pot. It is not just like any other pot. Its particular organic form, which makes it appear dynamic, as if it is embracing the plants to stretch them to the sun, combines the functionality of synergistic agriculture with Design and can be placed on terraces, balconies and gardens.
The idea comes from a recent form of synergistic vegetable gardening, known as aromatic spiral, increasingly used in agriculture. It’s generally made of stone or brick for exploiting the terrain in a vertical direction. In this way, it’s possible to obtain a natural drainage and exposure according to the position of the sun, creating different microclimates and favoring different dwelling needs for approximately twelve different aromatic herbs.
Vertigo can accommodate all the basic culinary plants and thanks to the shape of the bottom similar to a slide, it has a natural drainage that creates different areas of humidity. Furthermore, the spiral shape ensures better exposure to the Sun.
To give to the internal bottom of the vase the shape of a real water slide, the vase was designed to be obtained by molding: chipboard molding of cork, breathable, anti-parasitic and insulating material, or rotational molding of polymeric materials to obtain different color combinations.
Therefore, in order to obtain the desired complex shape, given the constraint of the feasibility and the problems of undercut, the vase has been divided into two pieces which are assembled before use. This feature gives greater portability and stackability of the product, optimizing the transport and storage phases.
