GREEN CITY SOLUTIONS CITY TREE 2020

Product Design

The Berlin start-up Green City Solutions develops Bio-Tech filters to improve air quality in cities from a combination of moss cultures and Internet of Things technology. Our task in this project was to further develop the existing product together with Green City Solutions. The aim was to combine a high quality design with functional aspects and a sustainable design approach. In addition, the moss had to be protected from direct sunlight by an intelligent shading solution.

The quality of the developed design solution is shown by the city tree’s CO2 footprint being significantly reduced. By using wood as the material in an honest way, the city tree can age over time without losing its functionality and appeal. A puristic design approach, which develops from the continuation of the shading slats into a cubic volume, can be integrated well into the most diverse public places. The wooden surfaces and the hexagonal base allow a modular arrangement of several city trees and provide a place to meet, sit and linger.
