“Two & a half PLANT!” is a
project commentary on the life cycle of a culinary herb. The objective is to
reconnect people with traditional agricultural processes that have been restrained as a result of urban lifestyle. The final
product aspires to link users to the growing process, from sow to consumption, promising
a complete experience.
“Two & a half PLANT!” is a set of
the following objects: A handful of
seeds embodied inside a clod of soil, a ceramic pot and a porcelain container
for the herb’s dehydration. All parts are complementary to each other creating
an interaction with the user who experiences the process of cultivation step by
step, as each part indicates: After breaking the clod of soil containing the
seeds, and filling the ceramic pot with it, the user has the opportunity to
grow his own herbs and, if desired, to dehydrate fresh-cut herb sticks safely
inside the porcelain container.
The chosen materials (soil clod, clay, porcelain) imply a symbolic analogy to the stages of the plant’s growth (seed, grown plant, dehydrated plant) reflecting a correlation between them and the processing steps.
