Indoor Aquaponics Furniture

Meaning life, Eva is a modern aquaponics furniture. 

The symbiosis

The waste of the fish, ammoniac, is pumped up to the garden where the substratum of roots of the plants break down the ammoniac into nitrates and nitrites. The former feed the plants and the latter become food in return for the fish, creating a virtuous circle.

The earliest example of this technology is believed to be the Aztecs, who raised plants on rafts on the surface of a lake in 1,000 A.D.

Aquaponics is a highly sustainable method of agriculture, increasing crop production per square foot versus traditional farming with low water and low power consumption.
Aquaponics compares with hydroponics in that the latter uses formulated solution while the former uses fish to provide nutrients.

Designed For Hobbyists

Eva finds its place in restaurants, hotels, schools or offices.
It is a guarantee of fresh food, a place of gathering and a light source full of life. 


Easy Peasy Assembly

EVA was designed so that the different parts simply dovetail with one another and let gravity do the work, no tools are required.


What To Grow?

Powered by LEDs

Both the garden and the fishtank share a common source of light, floating at the very core of the product.

The frosted finishing combined with the extruded facets serve at optimising the light diffusion.
