Plant-Growing Coffee Tables

You Can Fill the Pot Section of this Coffee Table with Living Plants

— March 29, 2014 — Art & Design
The Volcane Feet Coffee Table is much more than your average living room surface. The structure is made out of solid oak from sustainably managed French forests. The two surfaces are made from lacquered, medium-density fiber boards that have a sleek, smooth finish.

What makes this coffee table different from other ones out there is the built-in planter, in which you can plant whatever you want. It would be a perfect spot for a Bonsai tree you're working on or a small Lemon tree. If you don't feel like putting a plant in the dipped section of the table, get creative and fill it with some ice cubes and bubbly for your next party or fill it with water and have some floating candles to add some ambiance to your living room.
