PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: We've carefully crafted "Cube Plant" with durability and aesthetics in mind. To achieve maximum durability, we opted for premium black walnut wood and reinforced the weakest points with sturdy metal. For a natural look, we chose a cement-like pot, but made it from eco-friendly recycled plastic to prevent cracking.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In designing this product, I took a conscious approach towards environmental sustainability. While examining various household products, I observed that the mass production of fixed-style products often leads to the production of unsold goods, resulting in wastage. Therefore, I decided to break away from this traditional approach by adopting a modular design for our first product - Cube Plant. With this innovative design system, we can easily expand our product range and offer diverse styles, thus reducing the production of unsold goods and minimizing wastage.
