3D model description

"Corals" is a versatile planter that draws inspiration from the mesmerizing beauty of coral reefs, while integrating a dual-function base. This planter features a design composed of three compartments, each resembling the intricate and varied ecosystems.

Some compartments are perforated, to mimic the porous structure of coral. These perforations not only pay homage to the natural beauty of coral reefs but also serve to provide essential ventilation and air circulation for the plants within.

The double-function base serves as the heart of the planter, capable of adapting to your preferred watering method:

*1. Self-Watering Reservoir: * Inspired by the water-absorption process of coral reefs, the planter utilizes capillary action to draw water from the base up into the plant compartments. In this case, microfiber wicks can be attached to the perforations on the bottom, and the base can be filled with water right below the perforation's level. Those wicks act as conduits, enhancing the capillary action, and ensuring an even more efficient and consistent distribution of water to your plants.

*2. Excess Water Collection: * Should you prefer to water your plants manually or rely on rainwater, the base transforms into a collection tray. It catches and retains any excess water that may drain from the plant compartments, keeping your surroundings clean and tidy.

Designed to seamlessly blend aesthetics and utility, this coral reef-inspired planter adapts to your unique gardening style. Whether you're a hands-on gardener or prefer a low-maintenance approach, this planter caters to your needs. Place it on a windowsill, a tabletop, or in a garden corner to enjoy a conversation-starting piece that captures the essence of coral reefs in a truly adaptable and captivating way.
