Danish designer Sara Martinsen has created the Rooted Potential pavilion using only native plants. It was first created as an exhibition at Officinet and has turned it into a guest bedroom at her summerhouse in Copenhagen. She explored the use of plants and its ability as architectural properties. It is installed in a building that she also uses as a workshop.

The 10 fibers used include: “eelgrass, flax, clematis vitalba, Japanese knotweed, cattail, lake bulrush, hemp, silver grass, pipe grass and yellow flag.” She explained more on the design, “The pavilion showcases the unique character that emerges when local flora is combined with artisanal techniques. Having a cultural visual identity is essential in a world where a certain expression can be created anywhere, at any time. We humans need to put down roots and belong somewhere.”
