Urban Nature Redefined

Posted in: Uncategorized

Cella is a specially constructed planter pod made of flexible, lightweight plastic to house moss and small plug plants. Cella creates a microclimate where they will thrive both indoors and outdoors. Its 3D voronoi shape was adapted specifically for moss which gets all its nutrients from the air and doesn’t require soil. The versatile structure can be attached to any wall, hanged from the ceiling, or rest on any surface. There are no limits to your urban landscaping vision!

TRANISM Episode 5: Click and Grow Smart Herb Garden

Posted in: click and grow, editorial, herbs

What started as a successful Kickstarter campaign is finally shipping and I got my hands on one. In this episode I set up the Click and Grow Smart Herb Garden and discover it really is easy for anyone to grow their own herbs at home. Each Smart Herb Garden comes with cartridges for basil, thyme and lemon balm. Future cartridges will be available for chili pepper, mini tomato and I’m crossing my fingers for berries! Oh I also participate in #whaling. You won’t believe it!

Grass Printer For Lawnly Creatives

Posted in: Grass Printer, Jeong Koo Hee, Kim Min Hong, Prof. Doh Han Young

Move over dot matrix, because here comes the grass matrix. The Grass Printer is an automated mower that lets you create messages and art on your lawn. The mower’s smaller sized blades (resolution matters!) can selectively cut the grass to recreate whatever you sketch on its touchscreen. Small motors move the cutter shaft horizontally and vertically to create the selective trimming. The area of the art is defined by four sensors placed at each corner. Get one for yourselves and create the mother of all status messages. Of course on grass!

Cloudy With A Chance of Fun

Posted in: Peleg Design, plant, Rainmaker, Shaped, Watering cloud, Watering Head

Play rain god to your potted perennials. Peleg Design’s ‘Rainmaker’ watering head lets you attach a cute nimbus cloud onto that water filled cola bottle. All that is left to do, is to command, “let there be rain”. And your violets would turn rose in adulation. I wish they came with battery powered lightning bolts too. Check out the video below to see how ‘Rainmaker’ puts the soon into Monsoon.

The Elegant Simplicity Of Growing Plants

Posted in: designed, gardening, good3studio, indoor, OPUS GARTEN

Like many, I tend to bury my green-thumb aspirations because I don’t have the time or the expertise to manage houseplants. I was looking for tools that could help people like me grow more than just those good-luck bamboo plants when I found the OPUS GARTEN. Michael Good, the man behind the successful Kickstarter BIGrootcup Campaign is out with this new line of indoor gardening products that promise to make indoor gardening fun and easy. Let’s look at in-depth.

Designer: Micheal Good of good3studio [ Buy it Here ]

I agree with Good that indoor gardening should be a fun process and if we add a dash of aesthetic creation, then I guess we have a winner! With the OPUS GARTEN launch line, Good has brought forth three products; all of which are included in the IndoorGardenKit: The OPUS GARTEN WallPlanter, PottingTray and Handworktoy.

OPUS GARTEN WallPlanter

The WallPlanter is as easy to hang as a picture. It’s held in place with the help of a marine grade cord and die-cast aluminum hardware, which makes for a very clean installation.

Plants are potted in an insert that has weeping holes in the bottom, that can help to drain soil, or wick up moisture.
The outer housing is completely water proof, WallPlanter won’t drip, sweat or mold.

PottingTray

To keep the entire setup clean, the Potting Tray comes into action. It protects tables and counters when taking on indoor gardening projects.

A lip surrounds the durable flexible tray to capture spills.
Easy to clean in a sink and it’s dishwasher safe.

Handworktoy

A set of handtools that are inspired by Japanese classics with size and material suitable for indoor use. Included in the the kit are:

A versatile hori-hori whichi is a big help with repotting plants, breaking up soil and planting cuttings.
Tweezer helps to grab rotten or prickly material; think french manicure!.
Soil scoop is the right size to reach into a bag of potting soil and very comfortable to hold. A flattened opening edge prevents the scoop from rolling.

OPUS GARTEN IndoorGardenKit by good3studio is a novel indoor gardening set. It’s the kind I’d use for its simplicity and aesthetic approach. The line is easy on the eye and functional. Get your kit here today.

Guerilla Gardening Starbucks Style

Posted in: Freddie Jordan, SeedPod

Envisioned as a conceptual design for where Starbucks as a brand may be in 2025, the The Starbucks ‘SeedPod’ is the new-age tactic for Guerilla Gardening. As per Freddie’s vision, The ‘Seed Pods’ will be given away at Starbucks location together with free seeds, which are meant for planting in the local community. The aim is to aid replanting areas and aligns with Starbucks sustainable policy.

The ‘SeedPods’ sit on an interactive dock and each dock is able to access a map of the local community. On this map users are able to update where they have been using their ‘SeedPods’ and discuss areas in need of redevelopment.

Puzzle Pots

Posted in: planter, pots

Generic terracotta and cement planter pots do little to save space with their conical shapes, making them less than ideal for compact living spaces. The Ma-ce-ta series resolves this issue with a collection of pots in varied size and geometric shape that fit together like a puzzle. The modular series makes it possible to create an indoor garden that’s custom-taylored to spatial requirements while it’s clean, minimal, white aesthetic compliments a variety of interior styles.

Say Hello to Urb

Posted in: Herb, herbs, planting

Urb-Garden brings gardening into small, indoor urban environments in a sculptural and aesthetic way! The unique form is actually the result of a design project focused around safety. Users will find that the pots are at an ergonomic height to prevent back strain and the materials used are thoughtfully chosen to be lightweight or heavy where it matters. Check out the vid to see an extra, interactive feature of this ingenious planter!

The team sought to bring the joy of gardening into indoor urban homes with limited outdoor space. Urb-Garden is a collection of modular pieces that fit together at the concrete bases, creating a continuous row of plants; specifically herbs; that could have as many or as little as the space and user saw fit. The design is minimal in form, however the construction techniques are significantly more complex. The bases and exterior pots are made of fibrous (fiberglass) concrete to ensure the best strength-to-weight ratio, while each stem is made from 8 steam-bent and laminated pieces of Ash which not only has high structural capacity but is also beautiful. As well as this, the weight of the pots allow the stem to gently bend and sway when the user interacts with the pieces which adds a dynamic element to the design. The inner pots, that house the herbs, are made from spun aluminium and are easily removable from the concrete pots. This allows the user to remove the pots at will and put them on their kitchen bench if desired. Urb-Garden is detailed by a red felt base and a red edge on the aluminium pots; a colour chosen to provide an effective contrast with the plants.

Designers: Ash Stephens, Caitlin Clark, Cole Holyoake, Emily Stonehouse & Sebastien Voerman

Public Toilets in a Garden Escape

Posted in: in a, public, Sou Fujimoto

Sou Fujimoto a imaginé ces toilettes publiques pour des personnes n’ayant pas forcément peur d’être vues. Située au fond d’un grand jardin à Ichihara au Japon, cette cabine se veut être une respiration et est entourée d’un enclos en bois pour un peu d’intimité. Plus d’images et de détails du concept dans la suite.
