CES Best of Innovation, A Year Out
One year ago today, Plantaform reached a major milestone — winning the CES Innovation Awards® Best of Innovation.
That moment marked our official entry into the U.S. market at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, where we introduced our fogponics technology to a global audience and showcased what’s possible when cutting-edge innovation meets everyday living. Being recognized with Best of Innovation was a defining moment for our team and a powerful validation of our mission to make growing fresh food at home effortless, beautiful, and accessible.
In addition to receiving the CES Innovation Award, we were grateful to also be featured by several leading technology publications. You can find links to a few of those articles below:

Here’s a deeper dive into what makes Plantaform not just a great way to grow food indoors, but a transformative piece of living furniture for the modern home.
What is the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden?

Ideal for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike, Plantaform is a fusion of form and function that enhances the beauty of any home while encouraging a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
What is Fogponics?
Fogponics is an advanced form of aeroponics that uses an ultra-fine mist to deliver water and nutrients directly to plant roots. This method is highly efficient, allowing for better oxygenation and nutrient absorption compared to traditional soil-based and other hydroponic techniques.
Fogponics vs. Aeroponics vs. Hydroponics vs. Traditional Gardening
- Water Efficiency: Fogponics uses a whopping 98% less water than traditional gardening methods, 30-50% less water than hydroponics systems, and approximately 10% less water than even aeroponics systems.
- Growth Speed: Plants grown with fogponics typically develop roots faster and produce yields sooner because of the efficient delivery of water and nutrients.
- Space Utilization: Fogponics systems, like the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden, require significantly less space than traditional gardens, making them ideal for indoor environments.
