The 'Palto' hydroponic pot has been designed by Lautaro Lucero of Uido Design Studio as an upcycled decor piece that makes use of an unexpected component. The planter is constructed with the upper section of a goblet glass that was accidentally broken by Lucero who decided to turn it into a practical piece of decor instead of throwing it away. The final product is paired with a lower base to hide the broken stem of the glass, while the upper section is sized to perfectly hold an avocado pit in place to start sprouting.
The 'Palto' hydroponic pot is a one-off prototype for the time being, but identifies how trash can be transformed into treasure for a truly eco-friendly user experience.
