The conceptual 'Oasix' table is an ultra-modern piece of furniture for the home to help integrate a naturalistic experience into an urban living space. The table mimics the experience of an oasis-like retreat by stimulating the person with sounds and smells when seated around it. An elongated Bluetooth speaker is built into the base, while the middle section holds a planter at the same level as the tabletop to keep greenery as a main part of the dining experience.
The conceptual 'Oasix' table is the design work of Junseo Oh, Junwan Woo, Jihoon Park, Yoon Seoyoung and Dagyeong Kim, and maintains an industrial aesthetic. This counterbalances the naturally inspired functionality of the furniture piece to make it great for urban homes with a couple or a family alike.
