Sustainability oriented design is a perennial theme, and designers continue to grow new niches — this despite an impending sense that the realm has been so heavily harvested that the soil is near barren. This solution is focused on the seminal moment of green birth, that moment when a seed that has been planted first breaks its coating and a minute green leaf springs out of the ground.

A sprout is indicative of the beginning of a new cycle of life. The spiral nature of this growth is so wonderfully generic: It’s hard to say at this stage if the seed is birthing a flower, a tree, a crop, or a weed. It simply represents the green birth. It’s a bit like looking at an egg being cracked open by its baby resident and not being quite sure what is coming out. At that moment, it is promise enough of a new day.
