Vegitated Furniture: A Green Growing Room Divider

The artist points out that "traditionally, vegetables gardens are thought of as utilitarian, and the potential beauty of vegetable plants ignored in favor of non-edible ornamentals. I use existing negative space opportunities within the home to minimize the footprint of these products." This clever design is more than just a statement about going green, it is a functional and relatively self-sufficient structure that provides natural variety, cleaner air and even an edible product right inside of your home. The planters are self-water, grow lights are included to insure a healthy set of plants and relatively lightweight and sustainable materials are used in the construction of this all-around multifunctional and decorative interior design element.
