What makes it special

From an idea to a living ecosystem

A piece where digital fabrication, electronics and nature work together.

I designed the lid to fit the container, bringing the light, battery, charging system and switch together in one piece. This kept the components hidden and put the plants centre stage.

With 3D printing, I can adapt the lid to each container. The lighting lets you enjoy the garden at night too, and the care guide explains how to keep the terrarium balanced.
