SHELV
In an age of frequent relocating, Shelv redefines the experience of growing plants for young adults who live in temporary and confined spaces. The two depths of pole holes accommodate various plant sizes, catering to users’ various greenery. Shelv’s drainage plugs and stackability allows water to be recycled to other plants below, saving users a trip to the sink.
