The second iteration in the MYPODLife series is a living wall and light box, made in Corian. The wall was commissioned by Tracy Stone Architects for the Sip tea house, in downtown Los Angeles. The custom design was inspired by the science of tea, etching into corian the bubble formations of various heating temperatures of tea water. The plant pods are planted with aromatic tea plants, such as mint, rosemary and chamomile and are watered using the excess tea. At night, the etched bubbles illuminate the space with an integrated LED lighting system. Interior living walls can function as filters, cleaning and improving indoor air quality and removing harmful VOC’s.
