What is LEAFLING?
LEAFLING is a product innovation in which plant seeds in the form of letters, symbols, graphics or signs are applied to natural fibre pads. When the pad is moistened, the seeds begin to germinate and grow as living signs and shapes. No earth is needed for this.
LEAFLING is an experimental object, designed from an interest in type design via vibrant growth processes, created by the Austrian graphic designer Julian Hagen. Light conditions, germination and seedling development, factors that cannot be calculated, are adopted as design principles that influence the legibility of each letter.
LEAFLING is a product of growing pleasure. The user is invited to grow and take care of the LEAFLING, turning into a type gardener, watching each letter or symbol transform.
What is new about LEAFLING 2.0?
The new version of LEAFLING is an all around revised product Sprichwörtlich rundum, denn der neue LEAFLING ist jetzt rund und passt somit ideal in einen Teller. Die wohl größte Innovation ist die Möglichkeit, völlig individual motives zu gestalten. In einem neuen Verfahren werden aus digitalen Vorlagen die Motive ?on demand? erzeugt. Dabei ist eine neue Dimension hinsichtlich Individualisierung und Gestaltungsfreiheit erreicht.
It has become easier to handle. Now all you have to do is take the LEAFLING out of its eco-friendly packaging and water it using the enclosed watering device. The improved natural fleece ensures that your LEAFLING stays moist for longer, making it easier to care for.
Individual Motives
With the new LEAFLING 2.0 you have the possibility to create completely individual designs. The new process generates designs on demand based on digital templates. This delivers a new dimension in terms of individualisation and flexibility of design.
