Much like a pet, plants are often personified by their owners, which is why the Besau Marguerre ‘Home Away from Home’ exhibit offers a way for green-thumbed individuals to bring their plants with them everywhere. These stylish tote-like carriers allow people to carry their plants around with them in a fashionable way.
This project allows people to realize the importance of plant life in human development. Humans need them for oxygen, herbal treatments and often for nutrition too. The exhibit provides an extremely modern depiction of these portable greenhouses, using individuals dressed in laboratory suits and hip young adults. By carrying around these portable greenhouses, the designers hope for a growth in respect for plants. As plants are one of the main sources of livelihood, promoting their existence is important.
