The Book Cover That's Also a Plant Pot

The plant pot you see above actually began its life as a book cover. It was created by the Estudio Manifiesto Futura design studio as part of a project for Design Week Mexico as part of a project with the Rufino Tamayo Museum in Mexico City.

The cover is built using triangle chips which are of 100% biodegradable material. These chips can then be up-cycled into a plant pot.

The book/plant pot is the brainchild of designers Vicky Gonzalez and Ivan Garcia who said: "We managed to create an experience of surprise and satisfaction of the re-use of a functional object."

The Rufino Tamayo Museum is dedicated to the former private collection of artist Rufino Tamayo.

Here's a look at the piece.
