Krado Leaflet is a smart plant sensor designed to monitor and track your plant’s every need to help the user provide the best care for their plants. The Krado Leaflet monitors the plant’s needs and behaviors to help provide the best care for the plant and prevent problems before they start. Utilizing the highly precise AgTech, the sensor measures moisture, temperature, humidity, and light quality; sharing that information straight to the user’s phone with a detailed care guide to ensure the best quality of life for their plant.
Hatch Duo partnered with Krado to make caring for your plants easy and accessible. After months of thorough prototyping with our industrial design and mechanical engineering teams we designed and engineered the Krado Leaflet, packaging, and application. The sensor is the first of its kind, helping promote sustainability and better plant care in homes everywhere. Since its release on Indiegogo, we helped Krado far surpass their campaign by raising over 13,000 dollars, 130% of their set goal.
Natural Inspiration
When designing the form, we drew inspiration directly from the environment the Leaflet would live in. The leaf silhouette is unobtrusive and blends seamlessly into its environment.
Subtle Beauty
Plants have an aura about them that is vibrant and inviting. We drew inspiration from the environment house plants live in, often surrounded by soft daylight near a windowsill or warm candlelight. For the Krado Leaflet we felt that energy would be best translated through a subtle glow that radiates from within the sensor onto the plant leaves around it.
Leveraging Sustainability
The Krado Leaflet housing is 100% 3D printed using the latest additive manufacturing practices. Compared to other manufacturing methods like injection molding, 3D printing uses less energy and reduces wasted materials. Additionally, the plastic is fully recyclable and reusable.
Krado Leaflet App
The Krado Leaflet app works in harmony with the sensor to help you better care for your plants at home. Through the Leaflet app you can log entries on how your plant is doing, complete daily plant care tasks, and gain advice on how to best look after your plants. You can also peruse the marketplace to purchase new plant nutrients and tools helpful to your plants.
Sustainable Packaging
We designed the Krado Leaflet packaging to be fully recyclable and sustainable. It is unique and beautifully minimal, leveraging simple manufacturing methods to construct an intuitive design with user friendly instructions.
