Lightbulb "green"house

Lightbulb "green"house
The incandescent light bulb is the ultimate symbol of wasted energy. Since I don't use them anymore I wanted to transform them into something green instead of throwing them away.

Digital Pots: Plant Campanions

Digital Pots: Plant Campanions

Ever wished that your plant could talk to you or atleast express their feelings. Thanks to designer Junyi Heo plants will be able to do just that. The Digital Pot measures soil conditions, temperature, humidity, and water; it then calculates the requirements of the potted plant and displays the mood of the plant using smileys and other icons on the front display.

The system let you know if you have over watered the plant and automatically drains the excess water. The pot also has a USB connection using which you can record the moods of your plant, plus it also recharges the batteries for the system.

The green melamine salad servers stand upright like leaves in a flower pot that also doubles as a mixing or serving dish for salad dressings or toppings. Will go perfectly with the equally leafy Flora - Pure Silicone Spoon and Spatula Set. Weird.
