The Play Ground Play Table is like a busy box for adults. Created by Jin-Woog Koo, director of the Nothing Design Group, the tabletop is composed of several compartments in which different items are placed to make your day at the office more interesting. Patches of grass, sand, rock gardens, plants and even living fish are all easily accessible by sliding around the actual work surface; a clear sheet of acrylic resting on ball bearings.
Working at this daydream-inducing desktop would truly stir ones imagination; picturing yourself on a beach playing in the sand, tending the garden or wondering just what that fish is thinking.
