Consumer lifestyles are only getting busier with many people seeking ways to make their surroundings more calm and comfortable to keep them grounded, which is what the conceptual 'Lake' table aims to do. Inspired by the tranquility of a body of water, the table is integrated with a series of crystal clear divots that can be used for storing plant life, small essentials or perhaps even small aquatic life. This enhances a space to be more relaxing and inviting after a long day and could even help transform a smaller area into a tranquil oasis, which would come as welcome news to urban consumers with limited square footage.
The conceptual 'Lake' table is the design work of Maya Prokhorova and puts a much-needed focus on biophilic design.
