'Vitamin Green' is a new book that brings together 100 projects and ideas that combat environmental issues with contemporary and innovative designs. Ecological sustainability, urban agriculture and energy efficiency inspire these leading design ideas and responses to the impact of our current global environmental issues.

Creations in the book form a path to sustainable ways of living and a greener future.

Restaurants, gardens, lightbulbs, bags and even biodegradable pens all feature in what will surely not only materialise as designs for living but also designs for life.

Featured works by Edible Estates, Lapin Kulta Solar Kitchen, Patrick Blanc's Vertical Garden and the High Line project running through New York City.
