Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
Doris Xu, a Central Saint Martins graduate, has designed a weighted planter called "Tilt" that physically shifts from side to side as plants absorb water. The innovative design aims to help urban houseplant owners better connect with nature by making the plant's growth rhythms and water absorption processes visible and tangible through the planter's movement.
