PRISMA – cover for plants growing

PRISMA is a sculptural composition out of different shaped and colorful geometric elements.
From the triangular base of a prism, stands the semi-closed dome consisting of three elements that reflect the geometry of the base.
The cloche is based on a stable geometric structure, which is necessary for the changing weather and temperature conditions. Due to the placement of the glass elements, it has two ventilation openings for internal ventilation. Through the different colored glass panes, the plant is positively supported during growth.

Can designers make traditional tasks like picking fruits easier?

Can we connect present with the past through traditional objects?

Tools for Gardeners The word culture is derived from early farming, from agriculture and horticulture. It is based on those prehistoric activities that humans had to carry out to survive and to make the Earth their property. Agriculture is still very much practised in the same spirit, but today it is rational, mechanised and automated by using the latest digital technology. The culture of gardening, on the other hand, is the result of a human passion to create spaces with plants that are both aesthetically real and illusionary.
