In 2150, as the climate crisis fuels population-food-pessimism and soil loss, can we still use soil for cultivating ornamental plants? Through this speculative design project, we envision the decellularized flowers of the future: ornamentals, even terrariums, populated with pigmented bacteria.



Through a process of decellularisation, the structures of preexisting decorative plants are reborn, becoming the scaffolds of new ‘life’; those which will adorn the living spaces of the future.
