PetMoblant: The Mobile Planter That Cleans the Air

Introducing PetMoblant, the innovative creation by Toofic Matta

PetMoblant is a revolutionary design that combines form and function. Shaped like a water drop, its aerodynamic structure is equipped with wheels, making it mobile and easy to maneuver. The planter hosts plants, allowing you to take them on a walk and enjoy their company. But that's not all - as you move, PetMoblant helps seed the path and returns to you with cleaner air.

The realization of PetMoblant involved stacking birch plywood sheets and cutting out sections to create the desired 3D form. The sheets were carefully aligned and clamped together before being sanded and coated with a transparent layer. An aluminum frame was CNC cut and manually fitted as the top cover.

With dimensions of 56x43x24cm, PetMoblant comes packaged in a wooden box measuring 62x48x30cm. Its design tags include planter, toy, mobile, and wheels, highlighting its versatility and functionality.

Interacting with PetMoblant is simple - use it as a pet with a leash, and you'll have your clean air always by your side. The project was executed in January 2019 and exhibited in Beirut in February of the same year.

Toofic Matta's research for PetMoblant involved using 3D Max software for creating the forms and CNC cutting for the plywood layers. The design is based on organic parametric shapes, inspired by the natural geometry and the fluidity of water drops.

Creating PetMoblant came with its fair share of challenges, such as experimenting with different types of wood to achieve the desired form. However, the result is a sleek and innovative design that combines aesthetics, functionality, and environmental consciousness.

PetMoblant has garnered attention and recognition, winning the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2019. This award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements, contributing to a better world.

With PetMoblant, Toofic Matta has not only created a visually appealing design but also a solution to combat pollution and improve air quality. By seamlessly integrating nature into our daily lives, PetMoblant offers a unique way to enjoy cleaner air while on the move.
