Nature is a real source of inspiration.

With small clods of earth implanted in the cavities of a hyper-mesh of expanded metal produced by Fils (Italy), a network can be created so that plants can put down their roots and develop as they know how in the wild.

Marinelli System has drawn on this natural environment to develop its concept of vertical plant walls.

Nature is the key to our well-being.

The open air, the scent of flowers and the cheerful colours of plants are generally sacrificed in urban environments.

The supports proposed by Marinelli System, made from ELLISSE mesh, can restore a natural dimension to housing estates, without the need for major works or additional space.

The Marinelli System concept was the result of research by architect Sergio Marinelli, who is passionate about nature. The structure of the ELLISSE expanded metal manufactured by Fils gave him the opportunity to imagine a vertical modular system that would make it easy to create large green areas in small spaces.

A patent application has been filed for this development.
