Boum smart watering system was developed in collaboration with the young urban gardening startup from Bern «Boum». They came up with the wonderful idea of an autonomous watering system in order to help everybody have a splendid and vivid green space at home without much effort. They already had done market tests and prototypes when they came to me for a complete redesign. My contribution was to design a shelving system that would be practical, space-saving, optimized for shipment, and nice to look at.
It consists of a modular system based on the combination of on single planter and base with a frame. It allows the creation of various shapes, in order to fit everyone’s balcony.
Modular system in 3 configurations:
- hang on the balcony baluster (possibility to add a standard system)
- shelving system
- foot to lay on the ground
With this new watering system alimented by a solar panel, you only have to refill the tank every 3 weeks, the system takes care of the watering. There is also an application to get all types of data: temperature, level of water in the tank, and an online community to share gardening tips. All the electronics and piping are hidden to allow and nice customer experience.
