Reseeding bricks

The Reseeding Brick is a replacement brick for encouraging arbortectural growth in the city. Brick Replacement Service is a 1m sq factory producing ‘Reseeding Bricks’; a replacement brick for encouraging arbortectural growth in the city. Each one is hand made and packed in the factory in London.

The bricks contain a multitude of seeds; from herbs and grasses to wild flowers and trees, packed into clay and soil London bricks, they can be placed in holes in walls or entirely new structures. Over time blooming into pocket meadows. We worked closely with Henry Lawrence in the concept development, design and build.

The bricks have been sold in Dezeen space during London Design Festival 2011, with a number of performances in the factory throughout design week.
