Beta. Guided tour. Sense-Tickling Desk Integrates Work With Garden. © Love Hultén Desks need not be the drab workspaces they usually are, if some greenery is added to lift one's spirits. While one could plop down a potted plant and call it a day, polyvalent Swedish designer Love Hultén instead integrates a whole mini-ecosystem, complete with all the gardening doo-dads: a water-tank, mister, two fans, a growth substrate made from recycled plastic and a digital timer. © Love Hultén Seen over at Design Milk, The Senescent Desk's concept is simple: creating relational and sensory overlaps between user and garden.
I particularly like how the library-style light source serves both the user and the plants. In addition, the design encourages the biodegradable nature of the artifact itself -- the desk's wood is intentionally left untreated, so that in the future, the plants will alter and eventually overtake it.
