grow your own herbs in a home-planting-device, like a broom it leans against the wall.

‘ceramica’ pots and pans coated in ceramics by italian producer moneta http://www.moneta.it

this is the future of coating: ceramics! it resists high temperatures, scratches and doesn’t peel off. a luminous signal on the handle indicates when it’s reached 140 °C, so you can lower the flame of your stove and use less energy.

removable wash basins encourages the use of grey water. why not use the water to clean your vegetables to nourish your flowers?
