Stockholm-based designer Caroline Brahme has a simple idea to turn grayspace green: concrete pavers with holes for plants to transform a patio or walkway into a patterned carpet:

Above: The pavers are a standard size and have molded planting holes. Pavers are available with different numbers of holes: one, three, six, or eight. The Grey to Green collection is available from Greenworks. For more information and prices, email [email protected].
“My product is a series of paving stones that can host vegetation,” says Brahme. If you mix and match the pavers, “they allow flexible customization and integration of greenery on the paved urban floor.”
