PALOMA Teppa

The Biophilia Guru

A decade ago our latest guru, Paloma Teppa, invented the concept of the “living wall” bringing the beauty of plants and nature into the home as art. She creates incredible pieces using moss and succulents which require little to no maintenance.

Plant the Future is the brainchild of Paloma Teppa, where she has merged her passion of nature with her background in Industrial Design and Miami’s sleek, modern and tropical lifestyle. 

Her work can be found across the country in hotel lobbies, companies, and at private mansions. Recently, she was commissioned by Art Basel Miami to create a Spanish Moss Sanctuary. 

See our interview to learn how Paloma grew up seeing MTV videos and dreaming about living in Miami to actually becoming a stylist for the company. Learn how her deeply rooted connection with nature led her to develop Biophilic Design.

Find out about her Gallery Nights and how she is planning to redesign parks in the city so that the community can start reconnecting with nature.
