Russian designer Katerina Kopytina presents Kuiper Belt, a collection of hanging planters inspired by the distant Kuiper Belt, each symbolizing a new form of life in our Solar System.

Russian designer Katerina Kopytina has carried out a very interesting project inspired by the Kuiper Belt, based on hanging planters.

Kopytina, on her Behance profile, tells us the story of the belt: "The Kuiper Belt is part of our Solar System and is located beyond the orbit of Neptune. It was due to the discovery of the Kuiper Belt that Pluto lost its status as a planet. Since its discovery in 1992, the number of known Kuiper Belt objects has increased to more than a thousand. It is believed that more than 100,000 exist. There is a high probability that there is at least one more giant planet waiting to be discovered. However, we will never be able to see it, as sunlight does not reach that far".

In the project, each planter represents a new form of life, which is depicted by a symbol on the bottom of it.

Better yet, take a look at how cool the designs are.
