During the “Jardin Jardin aux Tuileries” design competition in Paris, the innovative French design studio Barreau & Charbonnet introduced a creative solution ideal for apartment residents without access to a balcony or garden. Their invention, “Volet végétal,” is a practical and visually appealing plant support designed to simulate a small garden at the window.
This inventive “small garden at the window” is mounted vertically outside a window, serving as a lush green filter that improves the air quality entering the home. A key feature of the “Volet végétal” is its ability to pivot into a horizontal position, which not only allows the plants to capture more sunlight but also lets more natural light enter the apartment. This adjustability makes the “Volet végétal” exceptionally beneficial for enhancing the growth of plants and brightening the interior space.
The “Volet végétal” is easy to maintain and offers a simple yet effective way for urban dwellers to add a touch of nature to their living environment. The introduction of this small garden at the window can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal and environmental value of an apartment, and potentially, it can enrich the entire residential development by introducing a natural element that is both beautiful and functional.
