Quattro
Quattro is an indoor smart garden for growing plants at home. The design has three parts: a glazed ceramic water base, four unglazed terracotta pots and a grow lamp on a metal frame. Water passes slowly through the micro-porous terracotta, so the roots take only the amount they need. The method follows the olla, an ancient irrigation technique, and allows water autonomy of up to two weeks. The lamp uses horticultural light emitting diodes with a timer set to twelve hours on and twelve hours off. The form is inspired by the enclosed gardens of medieval cloisters.
