Onuà World: Reconnecting life and space through the art of growing. We design purposeful gardens that nourish communities, inspire human connection, and respect the planet—all year round.
The Onuà Journey: From Passion to Purpose
Our story began in the fall of 2017 with our founder, Martine Laforest, who sought to merge two lifelong passions: the art of aquarium keeping and the tranquility of gardening.
Driven by a vision to bring the benefits of nature into modern living and working spaces, Martine spent years developing and testing prototypes. Her goal was clear: create a sophisticated aquaponic system that blends seamless design with the joy of growing fresh food—integrated into our daily environments, all year round.
"Beyond innovation, we believe gardening is a way to grow meaning in every space we inhabit."
The Birth of Onuà World
The name "Onuà" finds its roots in the Hawaiian word Honua, signifying the Earth in its entirety. By removing the "H" for a refined, modern aesthetic, Onuà World was born.
It is more than a brand; it is a symbol of our collective responsibility to the planet. Today, our mission is to cultivate not only plants, but awareness, connection, and sustainability—reminding us that every purposeful action contributes to a better world.
Fresh food as a right for every living and working space.
