HOW IT WORKS
Students bring their tarnished clothes to shop
Trained staff will show the customer how to fix their clothes
Students now have the knowledge to repair their own clothes rather than disposing of them

PLANT POT AIR FRESHENER 04_PLANT_POT_AIR_FRESHENER
04_ This project aimed to reinvent the plant pot by implementing an air freshener into it’s base to disperse a scent of choice in an indoor environment
Water drains from the soil and is filtered to remove dirt particles using the fine mesh insert
A small hole in the plastic plate allows for water to be dripped slowly onto the air freshener
Mains vents can be found on the side of the product where the scent escapes
The airflow can be controlled by adjusting the inner vents to open or close ventilation
The bottom plate where the air freshener sits can be opened to replace or clean the air freshener
