A Colorful Modular Table With Flower Pot Legs

A series of flower pots nested into this table’s cylindrical legs integrates houseplant life into the everyday rituals of working and dining. Grow on Me brings plants to the table creating the illusion that the foliage is rising directly from the floor.

I had returned from an exceptionally fun family reunion the last weekend in September and was in the middle of a few house projects when all of a sudden my back seized up and I threw it out and I couldn’t move.

Not fun at all.

Funny how when we feel overwhelmed we think “if I could just sit and rest a little bit” and then when you’re forced to sit still from injury all you can think is “This stinks, I really
