Compare the Air sideboard and Botanic pot side table from Design House Stockholm to find which Scandinavian piece suits your storage and plant display needs.
Quick answer
Choose the Air sideboard if you need storage and a semi-transparent woven rattan look; choose the Botanic pot if you want a dedicated plant display piece that keeps greenery organized.
Storage vs. plant display
The Air from Design House Stockholm is a cabinet or low sideboard with woven rattan panels that create a semi-transparent, contemporary-retro look. It offers enclosed storage for items you want to keep out of sight but still visually accessible. The Botanic pot, on the other hand, is designed specifically to hold plants and flowers indoors, making it a focused solution for greenery lovers rather than general storage.
Size and placement trade-offs
The Air is available as a cabinet or sideboard low, making it a larger footprint piece suitable for living rooms, hallways, or dining areas where you need surface space and concealed storage. The Botanic pot is smaller and meant to sit on a table, shelf, or floor, so it fits tighter spots but does not double as a table surface. If you need a side table that can also hold drinks or decor, the Air sideboard works better; if your priority is a tidy plant corner, the Botanic pot is the simpler choice.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Storage capacity: Air sideboard offers enclosed storage for general items; Botanic pot does not store anything besides the plant itself. If you need to hide clutter, choose Air.
- Plant focus: Botanic pot is purpose-built for indoor plants, with a design that keeps them organised; Air has no plant-specific features. If plants are your priority, Botanic pot is the direct solution.
- Visual style: Air's woven rattan creates a semi-transparent, retro-modern look that works as a statement piece; Botanic pot is more understated and blends into a plant display. Choose Air if you want a visible design element; choose Botanic if you prefer the plants to be the focus.
