Furniture Design
Inspired by Nature
The Oasis
Designer Pei-Ju Wu redefines the relationship between the natural and artificial with this multi-functional piece of furniture. The Oasis allows nature and furniture to coexist in your home. Where your plants were once assigned to sit in a corner of your room, now it has a spot in the center. Every part of this furniture serves a purpose. The base of the table is a planter so plants stay green even when they’re away from the sun because of the LED lights integrated on the table.
On top there is an outlet you can pour water in. The funnel flows down the pipe to the soil, giving the necessary hydration for the plants. You don’t have to fear root rot because there is proper drainage. The excess water passes through a hole, back to the central pipe, and flows down to the base. At the foot of the table is a collecting pan where you can throw excess water or allow it to naturally evaporate. The LED light has an automatic time switch option, so your plant has proper light to thrive in. It’s also a perfect evening light to add ambiance to your room.

It will never fail you.”
