Lastly, the collection has The Dune terrarium coffee table. It holds a range of succulent plants nestled between driftwood, sand and coral. This one will cost you £680(around $870).
According to Rose Worrell, founder of Hackney Botanical, “The more you can manipulate a dead indoor space into recreating the natural world, the happier you will be inhabiting it. This idea led to us to literally planting into furniture, while retaining the practicality of the everyday coffee table.”
Indoor plants improve our overall health and happiness and are natural air purifiers. Making use of these plants in such a creative way can surely enhance mood and energy levels in offices and workspaces. So, if you are based in or around London, you can get yourself one of these coffee tables that double as an indoor garden as well.
