Plants under cover – Tënda
BA Product Design Project
2020
semester
Tënda is a cloche developed for the propagation of plants in allotment gardens. Often there is not enough space in these gardens for big greenhouses and the gardener cannot be present everyday to regulate the temperature manually. The cloches form allows an automatic air circulation inside the cloche, so the gardener just has to take care of the watering. The vent is integrated in the down bent glass so that strong rain and wind don’t affect the young plants. Manufactured in premium glass rather than in plastic it doesn’t become shabby over the time. What we as designers think is an advantage of our object is, that the size allows you to really grow an profitable amount of plants. Tënda offers a compromise between a big greenhouse and a mini greenhouse, just used inside. So it doesn’t matter wether you have an whole allotment garden or just a small front yard, Tënda is an easy-care solution for everyone who wants to increase his vegetable production or just move his carefully raised scion from the inside to the outside.
