With available living space in urban areas on a steady decline, not everyone can afford a nice garden or balcony to grow their plants. As a result, designers are adjusting; rather than taking your furniture to the garden, they are bringing the garden right into your chairs, tables and even walls.
Following the Little Garden table with built-in pot, we bring you the perfect accompanying living chair. This fun “Let’s Grow Some Balls!’” design by Krejci features hidden compartments that are filled with soil built right into the ball shaped chair. You can utilize these compartments to grow plants and flowers, and be able to sit inside your little personal garden.
To make things greener, the chair is made using recycled plastic.
