In a rapidly changing world in which the natural environment of plants is getting increasingly smaller, plant-life is struggling to adapt to their changing habitats. Nova Eden responds to this issue by enhancing plants with technology, which enables them to actively respond to changes in their environment and thrive in these new conditions.
This project was exhibited at Salone del Mobile (Milan), Trendnacht (Tilburg), InScience (Nijmegen), Dutch Design Week (Eindhoven), VERSO / (Amsterdam), NEMO (Amsterdam), Discovery Festival (Amsterdam) and GOGBOT (Enschede).
