The Puerto Rican Vladimir Garcia designs Meteoro, a planting ornament that defines a new display for nature in space. Meteoro pays homage to the residential steel planting ornaments characteristic of the Puerto Rican mid-century modern house patio décor.

Diverse in size and formal configuration, each object opens a dialog with space thru geometry, color and function to enhance the plant’s shades, patterns & textures.
