The obvious character of the Viaplant material is the plant itself – its details, colours and textures record one moment in time of the plant’s development, may it be a summer blossom or a fall leaf. Similarly to amber that captures the history of life, Viaplant encapsulates nature’s artistic performance and preserves it in the long run.
Viaplant composite materials can be used in architecture and design. We create unique coverings and objects that can bring the atmosphere of nature into our interiors.
And once they are illuminated, they offer a completely new experience that can resonate with any home, hotel or office, whether residential or commercial indoor space and spark natural energies in a unique form of beauty.
Viaplant offers three material versions and over 15 plant textures to choose from. Time to time we make available limited editions, collections.

ABOUT VIAPLANT:
Viaplant is a plant based creative material made for architecture and design. Created by Leptek-Terv, a landscape architecture studio in Hungary, it started as a form of artistic expression of the landscaping experience, working with plants for over two decades.
Viaplant offers a special display of ’constructed nature’ that combines nature and science by creating a unique, plant based material of appealing visual aesthetics for interior, furniture and fashion design installations. The company is headquartered in Hungary and its products are sourced and manufactured locally.
Viaplant uniqueness consists of its material, made from a fine selection of natural plant components, manufactured with a proprietary technique to preserve the plant, displaying real plant colours and textures.
The Viaplant brand is fundamentally defined by its philosophy, the so-called story concept. The duality of form and function is complemented by a story that stems from the place of origin of the plants and the associated memories.
Plants from various locations tell us many things. They connect generations through the historical past and also effectively reflect on the present. They draw attention to environmental awareness, the value of the green spaces around us, the importance of the relationship between man and nature, the importance of human relationships and our precious moments. The result is a highly emotional material of playful textures, a truly immersive and colourful experience by exerting tranquility and bringing nature into the living space with a delicate touch.
Sustainability is key, we only use plant components with a renewable cycle of one year or less. This is paramount to minimize the environmental footprint.
