Outside-In by Parker Hutchinson
Another prototype from Promise Design, Phytoslim is a modular system for growing plants on walls. Its slim panels are made of coconut fibers and supported by a hidden plastic skeleton. The 2"-thick pieces supposedly attach to any surface, indoor or out, vertical or horizontal. Although we're absolutely smitten with the idea of a grass-covered interior wall, the sheer logistics leave doubts in our minds: Watering? Trimming? Bugs? We'll wait patiently for the experts work all the kinks out of a development that could lend creative new meaning to the term "landscape architecture."

Magic Bean Word Sprout
The Magic Bean is a little sprouting plant that has a message. In this case it's "I Love You," but if you're willing to buy 5,000 or more you can have any message you want on the plant and any design on the can. For those in to the plant-in-a-can thing, there's also a line of Flower Cans. Fascinating. $10 at Compact Impact Related...

Domsai Desk Pets
by Laura Neilson Matteo Cibic's desk tamagotchi, an anthropomorphic planter, is an altogether different creation from his contribution to the "Love Design" exhibition at last month's Design Week in Milan. Where his bedside lamp stylishly doubled as a sex toy, the Domsai, which he showed at the exhibition space Monotono, provides a decidedly more G-rated dose of pleasure. Cibic describes his space-agey little tabletop...

Floto + Warner Beacon Lamps
by Sarah Moroz Floto + Warner really know how to light up a room with their original creations. Their past project was both good-looking and sustainably made from recycled materials. Their current project involves a cheeky take on the natural world—by using fake bugs. Hoards of them crawl up the lamp bases designed by Kartell, Phillippe Starck, Martin Baas and others, swarming towards the bulbs....
