Modern Lawnmowing: You too can have grass balls!

The first lawn mower was invented by British inventor Edwin Beard Budding in 1827. This paved the way for the invention of suburbs.

There hasn’t been much evolution in mower technology since then… gas engines… rechargeable batteries… robotic self propulsion… minor things.

With the Muwi, designer Yuli Sung introduces an interesting concept – this robotic drum rolls around your lawn cutting grass and collecting clippings. Then it compacts and presses the grass into balls, and plops them out.

The balls can then be used for juggling, which replaces the exercise you missed while the Muwi cut your lawn.

What are you gonna do with your grass balls???

    I’d appreciate the contact number of Yuli Sung, the designer. I want to get in touch to get more literature on it like the parts it posses & what these parts actually do. Thank you.
