# Planter-Enabled Furniture The Terraformed Series Turns Chairs and Tables into Plant Holders By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terraformed References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/opiary-terraformed-furniture-08-30-2014/) & [opiary](http://opiary.com/) Terraformed is a series by the studio Opiary, whereby furniture pieces are added to with plants. However, instead of simply placing the plants on top of the furniture pieces, they become one with the designs. These furniture pieces turned planters are ideal for out in the garden, and while you could place them inside the house, it is unknown as to how much certain plants or flowers will grow. These obviously take more work than regular pieces of furniture, as usually one is not concerned about keeping plants alive on a chair or table. For those who love the idea of gardening, and are looking for a way to enhance the backyard with some distinction, these furniture pieces from Opiary Studio will surely grab attention from guests and visitors alike.
