The PicNYC table with grass table top by Haiko Cornelissen Architecten brings the rural picnic into the urban residence.

Urban farming is a fast growing phenomenon where the typically rural practice of agriculture is brought into the city. The PicNYC table goes one step further and brings the rural experience of picnicking not just in the city, but into the apartment.

The folded lightweight aluminum table top and legs form a stiff framework for the grass, soil and stones (needed for drainage). The PicNYC table creates a surreal experience of nature in the city that literally transforms dining. Suddenly spilling water becomes a necessity instead of a problem, wine glasses need coasters not to prevent ring stains but to avoid tumbling.

Included in the rural experience is the maintenance of the grass. No table grass mower yet exists and the grass therefore needs to be cut by hand.

Based on the number of cuts, maintenance, usage, sunlight and season, the PicNYC table responds with a variety of colors to the conditions set by the owner. However, the color can always be reset to bright green since fresh sod is available year round.

Based on the concept of transposing natural experiences to the apartment, endless alterations are possible with flowers, herbs or even vegetables. Depending on the needs and green thumbs of the owner, the PicNYC table brings various degrees and qualities of the rural experience into the urban residence. As a consequence, the PicNYC table transforms dining into a feast at a new intersection of nature and city.
