About Quattro 屋内用スマートガーデン
Quattroは、家庭で植物を育てるための屋内用スマートガーデンです。デザインは三つの要素で構成されています。釉薬をかけた陶器製の貯水ベース、無釉のテラコッタ製ポット四つ、そして金属フレームに取り付けられた育成ライトです。水は微細な気孔を持つテラコッタをゆっくりと透過するため、根は必要な分だけを吸収します。この仕組みは「オヤ（オッラ）」と呼ばれる古代の灌漑技術に倣ったもので、最大二週間の水やり不要を実現します。ライトには園芸用発光ダイオードを採用し、タイマーにより十二時間点灯・十二時間消灯に設定されています。そのフォルムは、中世の修道院回廊に囲まれた庭園から着想を得ています。

- Unique Properties
- Quattro is a ceramic smart garden with the best light for plants.
We use an ancestral and very effective and 100% natural irrigation system, the “OLLA”. The oldest known traces were found in China 4,000 years ago. Ancient Rome also used this technique. Thanks to the use of micro-porous terracotta, the roots draw the quantity of water necessary for their needs. In this way, the water shock is avoided and plant growth is harmonious. In addition, reduction in water consumption with a water autonomy of up to 2-3 weeks.
In addition, Quattro is provided of a special Grow lamp with an integrated timer that reproduces sun sequence.
