This is a new invention by Electrolux, called the Hydrosphere, that was created by designer Kleber Puchaski, of the Royal College of Art in the UK, for the lectrolux Design Lab 2006 contest.
So it looks like a portable little greenhouse, right? And the design is pretty awesome!? But what does it do? The device in the middle of the “pods” is basicly a growing lamp that enhances effective growth for fresh herbs and small fruits. So you basicly plant whatever herbs you want and they grow quick and easy - as simple as that.
Quite a cool concept and a great idea for having healthier food - AND easy access to it. No more dried herbs! As a amateur / experimental cook myself, I must say that I’d love this little gadget, since cooking with fresh ingredients is just so much cooler!
I also however wonder how many little gangster kiddies will try and grow some marijuana in this thing…This could be the next gadget trend after those virtual pets ages…
