'Flowerprint' is the name of a façade gardening installation created by Studio Piuarch, with the collaboration of Cornelius Gavril, for 'Fuorisalone' during the Milan Design Week between April 4-9. 
The façade of the building where the Studio is based in Brera was covered by 2.000 flowers arranged in 200 vertical lines from roof to ground (10 meters in height and 20 meters in length). Roses, lilies, gerberas, carnations, rosemary, lavender and many more flowers were suspended along invisible wires creating a flower print, a curtain, an embroidery, a rain of colours and scents that changed with sun and wind. 
Potatoes seemed to anchor the lines to the ground. Their use, however, recalls an old technique practiced to propagate roses by cutting inserting it in a hole drilled in the tuber. Potatoes favour the formation of roots and provide nutrients and moisture.
'Flowerprint' unexpected and surprising.
