This Digital Greenhouse Just Sprouted Up in Central Tokyo

Twenty years ago you could walk through Tokyo and stumble across small plots of farmland. And a small stand would sell fresh vegetables that had just been harvested. Those urban farms have virtually disappeared. But now, in one of the most unlikely spots, a farm encapsulated by a digital, technicolor greenhouse, has sprouted up, and is welcoming visitors in to smell, touch and learn about agriculture.

Digital Vegetables, or Digi Vege, as the project is being called in Japan, is the work of PARTY and is located in Tokyo Midtown’s garden space. It’s part of the venue’s 2017 Design Touch event and, true to its name, encourages visitors to step into the digitally equipped, futuristic greenhouse and touch the 7 different kinds of vegetables growing inside.

Touching them triggers a series of lights and sounds, all controlled by a meticulously programmed system and designed to spark ideas about the shapes and colors that are growing beneath the soil. “Start off by touching the 7 types of lives now growing strong in the soil,” says Naoki Ito, who was in charge of overall direction. “Then, bathe in the design of vegetables, enhanced by videos and sounds.”  [Experience a Touch] -Digital Vegetables- by PARTY

Pensão Agrícola

A graciously restored farmhouse in eastern Algarve, Pensão Agrícola offers charming boutique accommodation amidst green meadows and fragrant fig trees. The rural hotel features 6 delightful rooms, each with its own private patio and unique personality.

The decor is worthy of a magazine cover, with rustic, vintage, and contemporary pieces nesting side by side against a backdrop of whitewashed walls. Adding to the experience is a heated plunge pool, as well as Portuguese home cooking at its best.

Otherwise, all light-filled units come with huge rain showers, Nova Saboaria amenities, and a custom designed fig and almond scent created by perfumer Lourenço Lucena.
