4Nature Amstel
Modular shelving unit with Amstel vertical garden
4Nature Amstel is a freestanding shelving unit with live plants that you can expand and configure as you wish. This functional solution is based on a modular frame system and a range of interchangeable elements such as plant modules, shelves, open and closed cabinets, acoustic panels, decorative metal panels in the form of grids and perforated panels.

What makes the 4Nature Amstel partition with a built-in vertical garden stand out?
Modularity and functionality
Innovative 4Nature System technology
Assimilation LED lighting or without it
Easy maintenance, automatic watering and control
Proven plant species
Saving usable space and optimal use of space
Biophilic design in LOFT style
Easy installation: all you need is an electrical socket
4Nature System technology – the secret behind our designs
Most of the above advantages are closely related to the use of our proprietary, patented 4Nature System technology. The freestanding 4Nature Amstel plant racks are automatically watered, which makes them easy to use and reduces maintenance to a minimum. This makes the vertical garden rack the ideal solution wherever there is no time for the demanding care of live plants. In addition, LED assimilation lighting ensures optimal plant growth throughout the year, even in places without access to daylight.
Our product
The base of each 4Nature Amstel shelf is made of ventilated modules from recycled plastic, connected by an irrigation system. The shelves are planted with individually arranged plant compositions. Our plant catalogue includes species that have a positive impact on air quality, humidity and the microclimate in the room.
Vertical plant placement effectively saves space, making modular plant racks ideal even for small offices. 4Nature Amstel will also prove its worth where a large green wall simply won’t fit. All you need to do is choose a product that fits perfectly into the available space. Our unique, functional design has been recognised in the Good Design competition – in 2018, we won the main prize for the best-designed service.

We create our products based on our experience in the vertical garden industry and the needs of our customers, but also with the participation of specialists from the Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice, the Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw, the Silesian University of Technology, and the Polish Association of Ecological Construction. Our unique technology for the new version of the modules has been granted patent protection by the European Patent Office, and the designs of our products are registered with the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market in Alicante.
In 2018, we were honoured with the GOOD DESIGN award for combining good design, nature and advanced technology.
Expert opinion
“Modern architecture cannot do without green walls, especially as the importance of plants in interiors is growing in line with interior design trends and they are now a must-have decorative element. The 4Nature System perfectly addresses the most important challenge for this type of project, apart from the selection and composition of species, namely automatic remote-controlled irrigation. As befits a 21st-century product, it can be controlled via an app. The frames dedicated to the system stand out for their visual qualities, emphasising the beauty of the plants.”
Amstel modular shelving units with live plants
A solution in the spirit of less waste
Caring for the environment and offering ecological yet economical solutions is our mission. How do 4Nature Amstel shelves meet the less waste requirements?
Minimal water and electricity consumption
Automatic irrigation tailored to the needs of plants, combined with energy-efficient LED lighting, significantly reduces water and electricity consumption. We have ensured that mobile vertical gardens allow for sustainable, eco-friendly office management, and that maintaining living greenery in good condition is possible with the lowest possible consumption of utilities.
Use of recycled plastic
We seek opportunities to recover secondary raw materials and are keen to implement such materials at the production stage. The 4Nature System modules, a basic component also for mobile green walls, are made from recycled plastic. We use aluminium construction and powder coating, and we also strive to minimise our carbon footprint by sourcing materials from local suppliers.
Long-term durability and reusability
Regularly tended plants in mobile vertical gardens from the 4Nature Basic collection are an investment that will last for years. Our products are so durable that they can be moved between rooms and even buildings. All 4Nature Basic mobile green walls can be relatively easily dismantled and installed in a new space. When you decide on a new arrangement or move to another office, you can easily reconfigure your mobile vertical garden and take it with you.
How does modular furniture with plants affect well-being?
The presence of 4Nature Amstel significantly improves comfort and quality of work, making the office a friendly place for employees. It has an impact on their well-being on many levels:
Lowering stress levels and reducing tension
Stress is detrimental to well-being and productivity. Research shows that the mere presence of plants has a relaxing, calming and soothing effect. Greenery helps reduce nervous tension, soothes the senses and provides relief for tired eyes.
Improving your well-being
Direct contact with living greenery translates into overall well-being: it affects job satisfaction and general life situation; a mobile green wall placed close enough to the workplace (ideally within 2 metres) will improve the mood and well-being of employees.
Improving air quality and humidity
Specially selected plants with large leaf surfaces, which we use to plant 4Nature Basic mobile vertical gardens, help to stabilise the temperature and humidify and purify the air, produce oxygen and increase humidity levels, and some species also absorb dust and dirt, neutralise harmful chemicals and microorganisms, and even combat smog.
Impact on health
Due to improved air quality and humidity, symptoms such as headaches, coughing and fatigue are reduced.
Better room acoustics
Noise is undoubtedly the biggest distraction for employees. 4Nature Basic mobile green walls help to dampen office noise – plants absorb sound waves, thereby regulating the acoustics in the interior.
Privacy
In addition to acoustic stimuli, visual stimuli are also important. Fortunately, the 4Nature Basic mobile vertical garden is a product that addresses both issues. It works perfectly as a green, lightweight partition wall, allowing you to rearrange your open space and separate individual teams or even individual workstations. This is particularly important in the era of COVID-19 and the need for greater isolation.
Components of the 4Nature Amstel system
Examples of arrangements
You can combine Amstel system elements in various combinations to create a model that is perfect for your space. Start by choosing the span by selecting the frame (a multiple of 86 cm or 46 cm), then decide on the equipment: the number of plants, panels, or perhaps shelves or cabinets.
