PicNYC Grass TableWho needs Central Park when you've got a grass-topped table that makes every meal a picnic? Okay, we still love Central Park, but on days when you can't go out to play, <a href="http://www.haikocornelissen.com/">Haiko Cornelissen</a>'s <a href="http://www.voosfurniture.com/#/tables/picnyc-table">PicNYC Table</a> is a breath of fresh air.

Spotted at the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/wanted-design/">Wanted Design</a> exhibition during <a href="http://inhabitat.com/new-york-design-week/">NY Design Week</a>, the clever double-duty piece can be planted with flowers or even herbs to pick and sprinkle right onto your meal.1
