When is a book not a book?  When it’s turned into an eco planter.   This recycled book pot is the inspiration of  Italy’s Gartenkultur. 

Nature creates trees, humans, dominate on other species, it needs to impose itself, not with his art and his innate beauty, but with own intelligence. Where nature creates, man writes. Until today.
Gartenkultur reshapes the will of “victory over nature” in “victory of nature”. Gartenkultur is an object of furniture, a complement of art, a unique and unrepeatable. As each suit becomes plant or tree, so a book becomes vase and cradle.

An idea that takes and old copy of “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn” to a whole new beautiful level, don’t you agree?
