About this asset

This industrial-style black metal grid shelving unit with integrated wood planters is a SketchUp model for vertical greenery. Constructed from a slender black metal wire grid, this modular shelving system features a series of square timber planters positioned at varying angles within the frame. The warm, dark wood grain of the boxes contrasts sharply against the minimalist, dark-toned metal structure. The arrangement includes a mix of lush indoor plants, ranging from dense leafy foliage to fine grasses, creating a textured, organic appearance. The overall form is geometric and open, providing a lightweight aesthetic that functions as a room divider or a prominent feature wall in interior spaces.

The download is a 14.2 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.

In SketchUp, this component is best managed by placing it against a wall or as a standalone partition. Users should ensure the model is scaled correctly to the project's floor-to-ceiling height. The metal frame and wooden planters are likely grouped, allowing for easy material assignment or texture replacement. When rendering, ensure the foliage elements are set to receive indirect lighting to maintain the model's depth and realistic look within a larger interior scene or architectural visualisation project.

Ideal for residential living rooms, modern office lobbies, or boutique retail environments, this unit serves as both a storage solution and a decorative vertical garden. It pairs well with concrete textures and industrial-inspired materials, making it a suitable addition to loft-style apartments or contemporary commercial spaces. Professionals often search for this type of asset when designing biophilic interiors, green walls, or feature partitions that require a balance between structural metal elements and natural, plant-based textures to soften the surrounding architectural environment.
