The conceptual 'SOLE' coffee table is a multifunctional furniture solution for the living room that will provide inhabitants with a place to position essentials, while also offering a dedicated space for cultivating plants.
The ultra-modern furniture piece offers ample space on the top section for positioning items, but really shows its functionality off when the panels are opened. The table hides a full hydroponics gardening system inside that will provide plants with all the nutrients and light they need to grow quickly and keep inhabitants supplied with fresh ingredients.
The conceptual 'SOLE' coffee table is the design work of Mikołaj Nicer, Jakub Maciejczyk and Grzegorz Szczupał, and features a connected design that can be managed from a smartphone, PC or tablet.
