The Auto Cannibalistic Table by Atema Architecture is Made with Egg Cartons
Rose Nazarali — May 21, 2009 — Eco
The Auto Cannibalistic Table is basically a giant decomposing flower pot.
Made with paper egg cartons, herbs are planted inside the table, which ends up feeding you as well as providing you with a place to eat. The irony of this cannibal table is that the herbs end up eating the structure of the table as they grow, causing it to decompose.
While this recycled table is eco-friendly and unique, it obviously is not meant to last very long, leaving you table-less but with lots of tasty herbs!
