P.O.T.S. Urban Plant Care System

(01)

Background

FORMSET developed P.O.T.S. to solve a common challenge in urban living: keeping plants healthy with minimal maintenance. Through innovative design and engineering, we created a bottom-watering planter system that combines functionality with contemporary aesthetics.

The challenge was to develop a self-watering planter that would maintain optimal soil moisture through passive water transfer while being visually appealing enough to enhance modern living spaces. Our solution needed to be both effective and engaging, encouraging urban dwellers to embrace plant care without the usual maintenance concerns.
