The Houseplant Roach Clip Side Table combines mid-century style with utility as a new furniture piece designed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s lifestyle brand, Houseplant, that incorporates an oversized integrated roach clip rising from the base. The table stands at just over 24 inches tall and uses a mix of industrial steel and warm Sungkai wood to channel a refined mid-century modern look while providing a playful functional element that can secure a roach in place.
Beyond its novelty, the side table is sized with a surface area meant to hold drinks, lighters, and everyday accessories, and it includes a removable ashtray component that can be passed around without risking debris on the furniture. The Roach Clip Side Table is available for pre-order through the Houseplant webstore with shipping scheduled to begin in February 2026
