Airport Artificial Vertical Garden
Vistafolia created a spectacular green-wall display at the Four Points by Sheraton in Nairobi International Airport in Kenya to heighten the visual impact of the hotel’s double-height feature wall. The installation provided Four Points’ elegant, contemporary interiors with a beautiful, natural look, of the highest quality finish and functionality that international business travellers value from the leading hotel chain.
This project highlights Vistafolia’s excellent fit with international brands requiring exacting standards from suppliers. Whilst providing the perfect aesthetic and practical design solution for the reception area’s imposing vertical garden surface, Vistafolia is the only artificial green-wall system that could meet Kenya’s rigorous importation standards, as well as the stringent fire safety regulations that are prevalent in international airports, no more so than at Nairobi Airport where there had previously been a deadly fire outbreak.
Solution
This project is a great example of a slightly different installation. Instead of covering the whole wall, the client opted to create this beautiful montage of wood and greenery that creates visual interest and gives a completely unique look, something critical to a brand that is not satisfied with fitting in with the crowd.
The installation was straightforward, owing to Vistafolia’s ingenious fixing system that allows the product to not only be installed with a minimum of fuss, but also holds the product in place safely and securely. A real wall would have been much more complex to install, and would have proved to be a logistical nightmare to maintain. Our replica green wall panels require an absolute minimum of maintenance and never need watering, chemicals, or any sort of pruning.
Vistafolia, with ISO certifications for quality and durability, fully conformed with Kenya’s stringent safety, quality, and security requirements, inspected and verified by 3rd party testing facilities. No other artificial green-wall product in the market could deliver such quality assurance, complying exceptionally for pre-shipment physical and documental inspection, for Kenyan importation requirements.
The Vistafolia panels are a product of extensive research and development by award-winning British horticulturist Paul Alder. Vistafolia offers versatile, customised, and instant greenery solutions to transform luxuriously any environment with incredibly life-like, easily installed and low-maintenance green walls. International brands trust Vistafolia to create stunning visual set pieces to enhance both their surroundings and image.
