MEG The MEG CORP company was founded by Raphaëlle Seyfried and Franz Ezin and originates from a fusion of design, ‘the internet of things’ and a love for plants. MEG designs beautiful objects to facilitate plant care. The first product that MEG created is a smart pot that analyzes the environment and provides the right amount of water to keep plants healthy. The MEG intelligent plant pot manages the most important part in a plant’s life cycle: watering. Its smart water container has a micro pump that delivers just the right amount of water to your plant at just the right time. There’s no waste either, because your plant is only given the amount of water it actually needs.
