There's no other bar that's as green as the 'Transform Bar' by Hong Kong-based artist Kacey Wong.
This three by four foot vendor stand is built with re-purposed wood with planks that have been strategically placed to act as planters. From top to bottom, this bar is fixated with greenery that spews out mother nature's babies. The stand is foldable with a drawer system that juts out of the structure; this was designed to provide the plants with sunlight so every spot of green will flourish.
Wong created the stand for his own interest, creating juices comprised of mixing apple and wheat grass. This creation is an attempt to raise awareness about the food source system. The design by Kacey Wong takes inspiration from stands that can be seen all over Hong Kong.
