About Project

Couveuse was designed as a modular home-system to grow saplings ahead of the short vegetable growing season in Canada. The team wanted to tackle the unpleasant look, expansion options and storage problem that other systems have. The resulting system allows for a sleek design feature in your living room that uses your space optimally. The plug and play system gives you the option to expand as your garden dreams grow bigger while also being stackable in a small space when not in use.

Couveuse uses standard LED-grow lights, recycled injection moulded plastic and a simple stainless steel construction for maximum sustainability. Every level has a dimmer included so that if your saplings need less light, you are not wasting any additional energy. All parts have been designed so that the system is serviceable at the end of the lifetime of the LEDs or when something is faulty. The integrated cable in the stainless steel spacers allow the power to be delivered all the way to the top of the system and the power connectors in the levels allow for easy plug and play when expanding Couveuse with extra levels.
