About Uno Vilany Fanondrahana Tena Ho Azy
Uno dia vilany fambolena mifanondraka ho azy natao ho an'ny anatin-trano, natao tanana any Italia amin'ny tanimanga mendasina. Ny vilany dia vita amin'ny ampahany roa: ny fitoerana tanimanga tsy voatapenaka izay mitahiry ny tany, ary ny fototra vita amin'ny tanimanga voatapenaka izay miasa ho toy ny tavoahangin-drano. Ny fahamehanan'ny tanimanga dia mamoaka rano miadana ho an'ny zavamaniry, ka ny fanondrahana dia mitranga ho azy sy tsotra ho an'ny mpanomboka. Ny endriny dia azo ovaovaina sady tsy mitovy lafiny, ary loko maromaro no atolotra. Ny fototra dia afaka mihazona rafitra vy ho an'ny jiro fampitomboana koa, izay ahafahana mamorona endrika samihafa ao an-trano.

- Production Technology
- Uno is composed by two parts: a glazed ceramic container for water and an unglazed terracotta vase. The investigation done around terracotta with the right ratio between dimensions and porosity, allowed to obtain the most natural medium for growing plants seeds without stress at home.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this project was to find the best terracotta composition for growing plants and its colours applications. After years of tests we achieved the result we were searching. Moreover, the idea to keep a product in line with our brand identity, completely oriented to wellness, was a big challenge in all our decisions. The result is a product 100% natural material and handmade in Italy by high artisanal knowledge.
- Research
- Kigarden mission is to re-establish a link between urban people and the healing nature of plants using eco products that allow it in an innovative and engaging way.
The treatment with medicinal plants is considered highly safe and these remedies are in sync with nature.
Eco smart gardens of Kigarden, starting from the micro smart pot Uno and arriving to the big brother Quattro, are green solutions conceived to increase personal well-being and beauty, literally bringing nature at home.
Green life can really improve our emotional state, as a consequence our life. In our society, completely chaotic and self-referential, is important to keep human relations high. Thus, why not using plants?
Let's imagine a working space, such as a bank in a big city centre, with standard fournitures and lights, common living spaces and maybe grey colours... Where is the pleasure of life? Where is the pleasure of working there?
A good design have to solve a problem.
Uno design is replying to this sentence as a little generator of life, not only for the plants but also for people that are using it. The desire of playing with its multiple compositions available as a child and of sharing them with others is started. - Inspiration
- Uno design is inspired by the hortus conclusus, a feature from medieval cloisters. In this way, Uno is linking ancient traditions with our present. In fact, its watering technology is named Olla and it was widely used by Romans. The vase inverts the original system where the Olla was containing the water, in this case there is the soil.Moreover, Uno adopts eco-design and eco-friendly packaging because we believe in wellness andsustainability.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2018 between Paris and Treviso (Italy). It was exhibited in Salone de mobile with is big brother Quattro in 2021, during "1000 vases" exhibition, including the publication of the book.
Currently, the project is arrived in its final version with the optimization of the base for hosting the metal support of the grow lamp. - Image Credits
