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.
