Growing plants at home brings people closer to nature. This contemporary ritual provides a sense of well-being and allows a moment of rest from the fast pace of everyday life. The double-sided watering pot has been designed as a functional and decorative household item. The watering pot is used to water plants by hand through two different streams of water. One end works as a sprinkler, breaking the water into individual droplets. This is an ideal solution when you do not want to disturb the soil or delicate plants. The narrower tip, on the other hand, offers the possibility to irrigate more efficiently in the root zone. The comfortable handle and ergonomic design make it a multifunctional and aesthetically pleasing tool for the home gardener. It does not need to be emptied or hidden out of view, as it can also be used as a flower vase. The form and surface of the watering pot were inspired by the smoothness and simplicity of the forms of ancient marble sculptures and busts. The watering pot is made of porcelain. It is white on the outside and also comes in three colour versions of the inner shell: blue, turquoise, and yellow. The device has been constructed according to the requirements of industrial-scale production, using casting technology, which makes it affordable.
