Hollow Book Planters

The YOY Design Studio Has Created This Modern Book Planter

This modern book planter from the YOY Design studio is one of the most clever designs I’ve seen in a while. Perfect for modern apartments which are tight for space, this dud book is hollowed out so that you can plant some foliage or flowers in there. The design can then be displayed as a standalone piece or among your book collection so that the plant seems to be growing in thin air.

Inside the Book Planter is a plastic case which you can fill with soil and is easily watered and cleaned. The white book sleeve even features a book title, which reads ‘The Life of Plants.’ With this sneaky, plant-concealing book, you’ll have guests scratching their heads and wondering how the hell you planted a plant in a book.
