Gardening is a very therapeutic activity and I may not always be engaged in it, but a few times I have found it really fun and comfortable. Plant growth, care, and being surrounded by plants are very satisfying. All your worries slowly disappear, and you simply become obsessed with nature. And indoor gardening has become one of the major trends these days! Plants can truly change the living space with a gentle presence. They add a touch of green and nature, creating a calm and Zen atmosphere. But taking care of them is not always the easiest task! You need to pay special attention to your beloved plants and give them the best attention to ensure that they grow well. And we curated the entire collection of product designs to help with that! From wearables that enable communication with plants to LG’s latest indoor gardening appliances, all of these products need to create a plant growing environment and allow plants to grow beautifully.
1. LG tiiun
Sure, the fridge can keep your vegetables fresh … but LG’s tiiun can keep it fresh! Designed as a unique home appliance that allows you to grow your own herbs and vegetables, LG tiiun was announced for CES 2022. Indoor garden appliances are about the same size as a dorm refrigerator and are about 3 feet high. It has up to 6 all-in-one seed packages and 2 shelves that can accommodate various seed kits.
Why is it worth noting?
The term tiiun comes from the Korean word for “germinate” and is LG’s way of indicating that this appliance is an integrated self-sufficient garden. The appliance can even create the perfect microclimate and all the right conditions for the plant to grow and even mimic the cycle of light, so you can go anywhere in the room without worrying about access to the right sunlight. You can keep your tiiun. LG’s flexible weather control system creates an ideal situation for organic growth while keeping pests away. The internal water supply system also supplies water (8 times a day) to hydrate the plants. All you really have to do is install tiiun and sit down while your plant grows on its own!
What we like
- An absolute surefire way to grow your own vegetables and herbs in the comfort of your home
- Fun and simple even for those who have no gardening experience
Things I hate
- The form is a little too big for a house with limited space
2. Ocean Sunplant Light
Designed to be more than an average USB-powered work light, the Ocean Sun Plant Light is calibrated to emit light similar to that from the sun, as its name suggests very well. Equipped with LED set. Ocean Sunplant Lights are primarily made for indoor plants that receive less natural light and provide light with a proper spectrum that allows for the promotion of photosynthesis and growth. Unlike the sun, it fits in the palm of your hand.
Why is it worth noting?
Ocean Sun boasts a sleek and compact design with a precision-machined aluminum shell and a series of flicker-free LEDs that draw power from the USB-C port on the back of the device. .. Each lamp comes with its own adjustable USB-C stand cable that allows you to arrange and angle the lamps the way you want, but Ocean Sun also works with third-party cables, so wrap it. You can freely connect to the top. A set of solar panels with a power bank or USB output!
What we like
- Compact form that fits in the palm of your hand
- High-end flicker-free LED
Things I hate
- I don’t know how well plants grow in this light
3. Paradise
Designed to reduce household waste, Paradise is an automated plant cultivator and compost box that uses integrated technology to encourage users when they need compost or plant care. Conceptualized as a rolling cart, Paradise consists of modular components that work together to provide optimal conditions for plant growth. Paradise starts from above and features LED strips that pour artificial sunlight into the integrated planter above the first module of Paradise.
Why is it worth noting?
More time spent at home has brought a long-awaited rejuvenation to our interior design, which has also contributed to the global increase in household waste. To change that, designer Robin Akira created Paradise, a household plant cultivator that integrates a compost box and a deodorant lid to take advantage of and reduce household waste.
What we like
- Integrate green into our interior space
- Deodorant lid
Things I hate
- Having such a design in our indoor living space can be a hassle
4. Jungle
The most common indoor gardens in homes around the world are a form of biophilic design. Designed by Poland-based KABO & PYDO Design Studio, which interprets the biophilia hypothesis in a similar way, the jungle is a planter that can hang from the ceiling and double as a semi-flash mount lamp.
Why is it worth noting?
The beauty of the jungle, which consists of just a few parts, lies in the simplicity of the design. The jungle, defined by a bulb-shaped capsule-shaped centerpiece, is a half-planter and half-light fixture. The capsule-shaped planter emits a warm golden light that diffuses in an opaque body. The opaque body accentuates the life of the plant by softening the light and providing an unpretentious canvas to cover the greenery.
What we like
- The simple form emphasizes the beauty of the plant
- The lamp gives off a soft and pleasant light
Things I hate
- To water the plants, you need to stand on a stool or a small ladder
5. Kosumi’s Wall Organizer and Unconfused Planter
Defined by an assembly system close to LEGO building blocks, Kosumi’s Wall Organizer and Mess-Free Planter come with a wall-mounted base grid with 3M strips, eliminating the need for hardware or tools in the process. The fun begins when you form the base grid on the vertical plane of your choice. Kosumi’s Wall Organizer and Mess-Free Planter come in over 20 different modules, including hangers, magnetic clips, transparent storage containers, planters, and mold.
Why is it worth noting?
Regardless of the size of your living space, multipurpose furniture helps free both the floor and our minds from confusion. Adding his unique multifunctional and organized WFH design to the mix, Fahrdin Kosumi created a wall organizer and a clean planter to form a magnetic modular garden for mounting on any vertical surface.
What we like
- Works like a LEGO building block
- Impressive storage space
- Fully recyclable
Things I hate
- I don’t really know how long the plant will last in such an ecosystem
6. Pirea lamp
The design of the Pilea Lamp is directly inspired by the Chinese monetary plant, also known as the Pilea plant, which is a common indoor plant found in modern Asian homes native to the Sichuan and Yunnan regions of China. It sits on a wooden base with dowel-style wooden stems sprouting from the inside. At the end of the stem is a lamp leaf made from a diffusion filter pulled out of the TV screen.
Why is it worth noting?
The lack of a clear structure of the Pilea lamp is beautiful. The leaves are unplanned and a soft LED bulb sits just between the stems, like a treasure on the floor. The way the light bulbs interweave the organic design of the Pirea lamp is much like watching sunlight creep from a tree branch in the woods. The organic design of the lamp has unmistakable warmth and challenges the structured, designed approach of standard lamps and lamp designs.
What we like
- Unique organic form
- Focuses on designs that are naturally inspired in an unconventional way
Things I hate
- Occupies too much space for the lamp
7. Flora
Molded from Jessmonite, Flora features spots of color that are a modern twist on terrazzo, a composite material born in Italy in the 16th century. Invented as a passionate project during the blockade, the designers of Préssec Design first made Floria from concrete casting. When they achieved the desired look of Flora, they took it up a notch and tried Jessmonite.
Why is it worth noting?
In recent years, designers have integrated elements such as hidden storage units and organizers into appliances such as chairs and desks to make working at home as efficient as working in the office, making it a multifunctional WFH appliance. I have created. Today, the designers of Sydney-based Préssec Design have developed Flora, a wall garden system that combines a cork pinboard with a hanging planter.
What we like
- A fusion of works from home and wall garden design
Things I hate
- Planters can easily break or crack
8. Blumistrova smart planter
This smart planter can monitor the condition of air, soil and plants to ensure that you receive the right amount of water and light to grow healthy. Flowerpots are designed with workers (less time to care for plants, but love to put them indoors) in mind, and artificially control humidity, temperature, etc. to allow users to kill plants. You can prevent it from leaking. long time no see. This effort is even more beneficial to users who can control, monitor, and verify plant performance from anywhere via a mobile app.
Why is it worth noting?
Smart planters are available for a dozen. While you have the option of relying on artificial light to help grow greens in the shade of your house, you also have the option of keeping your plants autonomous, happy and healthy. In the already crowded but high-demand segment, designer Evgeniya Burmistrova has introduced a smart flower system with climate control that manages plants independently and leaves a cozy green environment at home.
What we like
- Flowerpots can artificially control humidity, temperature, etc. to prevent plants from dying when the user is away for a long period of time.
Things I hate
- Aesthetics are not exciting and very similar to other planters on the market
9. Biocolor
Designed by students at the Copenhagen Interaction Design Institute, BioCollar is a wearable that builds empathy between the wearer and the connected plants. When combined with the hardware built into the planter, color helps to understand the needs of the plant through real-time feedback. When a plant needs water, it becomes moderately tight, when it is exposed to too much sunlight, it becomes warm, and when it spreads, it vibrates. In doing so, wearables aim to make it easier for plants to communicate their needs to you, allowing you to become a better parent of the plant.
Why is it worth noting?
BioCollar was designed as part of a larger system called BioPermit. This is a service that uses color to test whether future plant buyers are empathetic caregivers (much like how people are interviewed before adopting a baby or pet). ). ). Obviously, this system is speculative and its main purpose is to test future scenarios and see if we can develop sensors that translate plant needs into haptic feedback. There is no doubt that this will be transformed into a wrist-worn fitness tracker that tracks the progress of the plant, and even an app that allows the plant to communicate with you.
What we like
- Plants can easily tell you their needs
Things I hate
- Wearables don’t look very comfortable
10. Walty
WALTY is designed to save you the hassle of watering and caring for plants, just pulling water out of the atmosphere to get the water you need. WALTY basically does that part for the plant, as a single plant cannot produce and capture sufficient air humidity for the entire forest.
Why is it worth noting?
It may now sound like border magic, but WALTY works like a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier draws water from the air using a cold plate that forces the water droplets to condense. The droplets then drip into the reservoir tank and when it is full, simply empty it. WALTY’s approach is similar, except that it uses the water to hydrate the plant.
What we like
- Works like a dehumidifier
- Take care of your plants even when you are on vacation
Things I hate
No complaints!
