We recover scraps of fabric to make wall planters with lots of love and fill our spaces with nature.
This project aims to give a new life to the waste of external furnishing fabrics and to manufacture new self-watering wall planters with high social impact that fill our spaces with nature.
To make this possible, we collaborate with Fundació Portolà: we recover scraps of exterior furnishing fabrics such as sofas, awnings or pergolas and transform them into CitySens wall planters of a thousand colours. We may even use banner ads and other quality materials that are no longer used! Can you imagine what it would be like to create a wall garden at work, school or in your neighborhood with unused materials that are perfect for creating walls full of nature?
We have been preparing the project for some time and we can't wait to share it and create synergies. We want to propose it to see if you might like it! If you find it interesting, leave us your name and a comment in the chat at the bottom right of the screen to add your strength to this project.
You can also sign up on Verkami's crowdfunding campaign portal to receive an email when the actual campaign begins.

With this new project we promote circular economy and the reduction of waste in the outdoor furniture and accessories sector.
Furthermore, for the preparation and assembly of the wall planters we collaborate with Catalan social assistance foundations, thus promoting the social and occupational inclusion of people at risk of social exclusion. Together, we promote the local economy and have a high social impact.

Made for you with lots of love/strong>
Everyone has their own tastes, right? With such a variety of fabrics, colors and textures, we can make a unique product especially for you..
The fabrics we tested to make the prototypes come from Catalan companies dedicated to the production of outdoor furniture samples. And they have a lot of scraps! We will make the most of available fabrics to make as many covers for wall planters as possible until we run out of fabrics.
This means there will be limited units of each colour, depending on fabric availability, so there will always be new colors to choose from and you will have a unique product made just for you.
