Grassy Stiletto Storage

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Green Hill Footrest Lets You Feel Turf Between Your Toes Indoors

— May 10, 2013 — Art & Design
Since feeling the earth beneath your feet can be quite calming, designer Diletta Orlandi decided that the experience should be recreated inside the home. The Green Hill Footrest brings a bit of your lawn into your living room with a strip of astro turf covering its surface.

Collaboration with Limonta Sport Technology made the synthetic grass component possible and TN is responsible for producing the brushed steel frame. This part of the footstool comprises a flattened arch with a folded shelf integrated in the bottom.

The lightweight ottoman can be moved from the couch to the armchair, offering comfort wherever. The gap in the bottom of the Green Hill Footrest provides a bit of storage space in which you can stash your shoes, magazines or other household items.
Trend Themes
1. Indoor-nature Integration - Creating products that bring elements of nature inside the home, such as incorporating astro turf into furniture, provides a calming and unique experience for users.
2. Multi-functional Furniture - Designing furniture with integrated storage capabilities, like a footrest with a hidden storage space, maximizes functionality and offers practical solutions for small living spaces.
3. Collaborative Product Development - Partnering with experts in different industries, such as Limonta Sport Technology for synthetic grass and TN for brushed steel frames, allows for the creation of innovative and high-quality products.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can explore incorporating nature-inspired elements into furniture design to create unique and appealing products.
2. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can focus on developing multi-functional pieces that offer both comfort and storage solutions for consumers.
3. Material Technology - The material technology industry can continue to innovate and develop new materials, like synthetic grass, that can be integrated into various products to meet consumer demands.
