Connected greenhouse
Maloka is a computer cabinet allowing, in addition to the usual office work, to grow plants in hydroponics.
The heat energy of the central unit is reused to heat the greenhouse. Sensor-related software makes it easier for the user to manage the plant growth by providing informations about the plants.
Maloka is designed in a circular economy system: it is manufactured in partnership with TriRA, an association that recycles computer components, while the rest of the furniture is made from salvaged materials.

Maloka is a piece of furniture intended mainly for offices, where a lot of computers are used. It helps to raise awareness of indoor culture, has a high yield thanks to hydroponic culture, and remains a decorative and soothing element.
