Here is another ingenious concept product from the Concept Products Awards Scheme at the Ideal Home Show – The Trellis Tower by Jonny Wray, age 22, from Buckinghamshire Chilterns University.
The Trellis Tower is a sparrow habitat designed to attract more sparrows into urban gardens by providing safe and protected nesting boxes.
It is a wall-mounted tower which creates a community for the birds, providing shelter in the multiple bird boxes.
The structure is designed to encourage the growth of plants, covering the tower to disguise the boxes from potential predators, as well as attracting insects upon which the sparrows may feed.
The Trellis Tower is on display in the Concept Living Area at the Ideal Home Show, where visitors are being asked to vote for their favourite product in the Scheme. The award of £2000 will be presented to the winning designer on Wednesday 22nd March.
