The duckweed side table is inspired by two pieces of duckweed sticking out of the water, consisting of two discs, one large and one small. The asymmetrical design highlights the organic significance of plants. The design features are based on the structure, the legs are connected with only two metal welding points, and the minimalist side table shape is both a practical display prop and an ornament for the space.
