Auk Mini brings fresh herbs right to the kitchen counter, combining smart technology with Scandinavian style for a modern indoor garden experience.
Fresh herbs and greens are now within easy reach, thanks to the Auk Mini—the latest creation from Auk Eco AS, following their award-winning indoor smart garden from Scandinavia. This compact, elegant device brings the joys of gardening directly into the kitchen, offering a simple yet sophisticated way to grow vibrant plants year-round. With its innovative design and Scandinavian charm, the Auk Mini transforms any countertop into a lush, green space, providing fresh ingredients and a touch of nature in the heart of the home.
Just like the original, the Auk Mini takes the guesswork out of indoor gardening, expertly managing water, light, and nutrients to deliver a reliable supply of fresh herbs right from the kitchen counter. Setup takes just ten minutes, after which a vibrant garden flourishes—no green thumb required! Breaking new ground as the first open-air indoor garden, the Auk Mini welcomes any seeds or plant cuttings, mirroring the freedom of a traditional garden. Designed in Norway’s arctic conditions, Auk has quickly risen to fame, earning over 50,000 loyal users across Europe, the UK, and the USA.
With its sleek and iconic Scandinavian design, Auk Mini brings together elegance and function in perfect harmony. Its refined profile, crafted from raw aluminum, locally sourced wood, and a smooth matte finish, adds a touch of modern sophistication to any space. Now available in classic white or black with either Oak or Walnut finishes, Auk Mini becomes an instant design statement in the kitchen or home!
Beyond aesthetics, Auk’s commitment to sustainability runs deep. Produced in Europe using regional, responsibly sourced materials, it’s shipped in entirely plastic-free, recyclable packaging to reduce its environmental footprint. Auk takes a step further toward circularity by reclaiming and recycling used units, supporting a more eco-conscious supply chain.
Auk Mini stands out as a truly remarkable product, merging cutting-edge hydroponic technology with timeless Scandinavian design to create an effortlessly stylish, sustainable indoor garden. It redefines urban gardening by making fresh, homegrown herbs accessible to anyone, anytime, while minimizing environmental impact and enhancing everyday living spaces.
Designed with an advanced hydroponic system, Auk consumes 90% less water than traditional methods and operates with minimal electricity. This innovative approach supports a more sustainable lifestyle and it also brings a fresh perspective to healthy living by allowing users to grow exactly what they need, precisely when they need it—effortlessly reducing food waste. Auk Mini embodies the future of urban gardening, where beauty, innovation, and sustainability come together to inspire greener, healthier living.
