xiao

eat your drapes!

Xiao is a microgreen farming product integrated in a piece of furniture, which provides you with both food and shadow. Microgreens are tiny vegetables with a highly nutritious profile.

Xiao is made out of two hemp mats with embedded seeds, which act like substrate and a sponge mat inbetween, which keeps the perfect moisture for the seeds to grow. The way of watering the microgreens is to pull from handgrips, then the sponge will be compressed and water will flow through the substrate.

Xiao arouses questions about alternatives of food production and consumption in cities.
