In a successful attempt at turning his apartment into a greener living space, Daniel Zeller customizes his office workspace with a terrarium desk.

Illuminated from within with a glass panel exposing all of the [miniature plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-terrarium), the desk adds light to the space and makes the air more breathable. People who find themselves busy working away the day, hardly going outside to get some sun or some fresh air would benefit from transforming their work environment with an illuminated terrarium. Bringing outdoor natural elements within the home can do wonders for lifting people's moods and inspiring them to be more productive.

Update a stuffy room in the home or office with an illuminated terrarium desk.
