The Danish designer Sara Martinsen has created the rooted potential pavilion with only local plants. It was founded for the first time as an exhibition in Officinet and turned it into a guest room in her summer house in Copenhagen. She examined the use of plants and its skills as architectural properties. It is installed in a building that also uses as a workshop.
The 10 fibers used include: “Aelgrass, Flachs, Clematis Vitalba, Japanese Knotweed, pipe body, Bulsh lake, hemp, silver grass, pipe grass and yellow flag.” She explained more about the design: “The pavilion shows the unique character that appears when the local flora is combined with manual techniques. A cultural visual identity is in a world in which a certain expression can be produced anywhere. We humans must take roots and belong somewhere.”
