The Living Table is designed to mimic how plants naturally absorb water from the ground. Through capillary action, water is drawn upwards by the table’s sub irrigation system which provides the ideal balance of moisture and aeration, eliminating the need for drainage and reducing time spent watering.
The living table was designed by David Brenner, founding Principal of Habitat Horticulture as a further manifestation of his desire to bring greenery into people’s everyday lives. The Living Table provides a vibrant focal point where people can enjoy the positive effects of plants around a beautiful piece of furniture.
