The ROOT Indoor Garden System

When The ROOT was an industrial design concept, Porticos engineers worked with ROOT founders Brielle Pettinelli and Eric De FeoBrielle on its mechanical development.

The original design outlined how an indoor plant system with smart capabilities could both distribute nutrients and alert the owners if the plants needed light or water. The product design goal was to turn the design into a commercial-quality prototype.
