I designed a pot-in-pot sofa side table inspired by the African Zerb pot. Using terracotta’s porous nature, it cools rooms through moisture evaporation. Its textured surface and sculptural molding enhance evaporation by increasing surface area. The table absorbs water, with excess directed to a humidifier and sand. Its elongated countertop prevents spills and holds items, doubling as a side table. The bottom of vase stores water for flowers and cooling. Its structure increases wind speed, offering new experiences and possibilities.
