The conceptual 'Fanoos' planter is an interactive solution for households where inhabitants are elderly and need a bit more support throughout their day to get various tasks done. The unit features a cork construction that boasts a dedicated section in the base for a plant along with a frame that's cut from natural pinewood to give it a naturalistic touch. The detachable head unit functions as a heath tracker to ensure seniors are in good health, while also offering an emergency button to press if they need help.
The conceptual 'Fanoos' planter is the design work of a team of designers at the Iran University of Science and Technology, and is finished with a handle on the top for using it as a lantern after dark to easily navigate a space.
