# Tree-Topped Tables The Personal Fresh Air Desk by Julio Radesca de Carvalho By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-23 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-fresh-air-desk References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/03/22/the-personal-fresh-air-desk-by-julio-radesca-de-carvalho/) & [designacademy.nl](http://www.designacademy.nl/intro.htm) Everyone needs a surface of some kind and everyone knows they can benefit from having some greenery in their lives. The Personal Fresh Air desk is possibly one of the best ways to have both. Instead of having and eating cake, it's like having fresh air and breathing it too. (You know where I'm trying to go with that.) Designed by recent graduate of the [Design Academy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardiners-sofa) Eindhoven Julio Radesca de Carvalho, the Personal Fresh Air desk can incorporate a dozen of various plants. Not only does it provide said fresh air, it also offers a more organic privacy option than those dull cubicle walls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Green Workspace:** There is an opportunity for furniture companies to develop green tables and chairs incorporating live plants for the health benefits and aesthetic appeal. - **Organic Privacy:** Companies should explore creating more natural privacy options such as plant dividers and screens for offices and public spaces. - **Health-enhancing Work Space:** Designers and sustainability experts can collaborate to develop workspaces that enhance mental and physical health through innovative design concepts like fresh air desks. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can explore the benefits of incorporating live plants into their designs to create innovative, healthy and environmentally sustainable products. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can offer their clients eco-conscious and health-enhancing workspaces. - **Sustainability:** Experts in sustainability can promote workspaces that integrate living plants and promote health and well-being while reducing environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Integrated Planter Worktables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-office.md) - [Terrarium Stool Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-stool.md) - [Adaptable Mobile Professional Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airy-office-desk.md) - [Natural Moss Terrariums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petite-foret-plus.md) - [Living Plant DIY Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-hideaway.md) - [Plant-Supporting Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florapur-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Office-Space Luscious Planets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisley.md) - [Office-Friendly Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo-green-system.md) - [Minimalist Monochromatic Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arqus-desk.md)
