While some may scoff at the need to hide away the beautiful greenery of a home herb garden, others will complain about the lack of space their home has to even grow one; the Hydroponic Kitchen Island addresses the latter as well as the fact that some people simply don't want to parade their fresh herbs for everyone to see. The Hydroponic Kitchen Island boasts a secret pull-out drawer that helps people grow herbs without the need for a ton of sunlight.
Designed by Peter Buley, the Hydroponic Kitchen Island has two LED grow lights that provides enough nourishment for the 24 small pot plants it can hold. Simple and refined, it looks like any culinary bench when closed.
