This is an innovative tea table made of ecological wood and using unconventional diagrams. The design breaks the traditional wood tea table model and innovatively creates an appearance that combines cultural and creative feelings, creating a unique design aesthetics and fashion trend, and achieving a high unity of aesthetics and practicality. The design endows the furniture with the attribute of cultural inheritance, truly returning to nature and touching nature. Taking cultural inheritance as the start for design, the design team has designed a sense of continuity from traditional foundations and values. Instead of repairing or cutting to obtain perfect wood, this design highlights the natural beauty of the wood's scars, with gaps made into shapes similar to mountains, rivers, and valleys, and with moss and iris to form a mountain stream picture. Thesolid iron feet at the table legs are both hand-made and natural in a modern and minimalist style, making cultural inheritance more relevant to contemporary needs. The design team has carefully selected wood blocks with good water resistance. On the top surface of the wood blocks, there are planting grooves distributed along the length of the wood blocks. The bottoms of the planting grooves have water guiding structures to effectively prevent wood rot and deformation. At the same time, the moss planting soil contains Super Absorbent Polymer(SAP). With the properties of absorbency and water storage, it will absorb excess water when the water is over and eliminate excess water. Also, this prevents the moss or plants from rotting roots, while also maintaining good air permeability of the wood. The design fully considers the use experience, and has a high degree of participation in the maintenance and design of this table. In the case of cracks, users can plant moss or succulents, or simply cover with gravel to appreciate the beauty of the "canyon". The patent processing avoids wood rot, and the maintenance of moss only requires daily watering to maintain humidity. It is also very convenient to replace dry moss, which greatly enhances the user's experience.
