Vases and bench before blooming.
Viral Nature proposes a composite material, 84% organic, able to host life.
Fertile and easy to shape, the mix is employable to cast complex structures made to grow into living botanical sculptures. The material, embedded with plant seeds, allows the process of vegetal growth.
The Echoes Series is one iteration of the Viral Nature vision: living furniture for outdoor life.
Seasonal objects, they behave and interact like living creatures. Because of their ability to produce life, people create an emotional connection with them.

Bloomed sculptures, gradually crumbling.
About Martina Taranto
Artist-designer-innovator.
My approach to design is holistic, and emerges from a background that combines disciplines and experiences, to generate futures built on synergies.
My work and training gravitate towards the necessity to find a compromise and a fluid dialogue between knowledge, humanity and the environment
I investigate and try to envision a world built on a sensible and ethical dimension.
My practice is devoted to the achievement of social and natural Justice.
