Lamp Photosynthesis: more than light
Photosynthesis lamp is an original lamp,which embodies the idea of “growing light” to bring both a piece of nature and lighting into the interior of the house. The plant and light bulb are integrated with a metal frame in the shape of a lampshade, which will eventually be completely covered with climbing greenery.
Each lampshade will look special, independing on the type of climbing plant chosen by the owner. The use of energy-saving light bulbs in the lamp promotes compliance with the principles of resource conservation and environmental cleanliness, which is undoubtedly beneficial for both people and plants. Eco-friendly light actually helps indoor flora grow faster.
The designer of the unusual lamp is MeiravBarzilay from Israel. In her works she explores new uses of common materials such as fabric, paper, wood, and metal. The juxtaposition and combination of mass production and handcraft is the main theme of the designer’s work.
The design is quite simple.If you want to make such a living lamp with your own hands, then you should find an old floor lamp, table lamp or chandelier with a metal frame, remove the old, usually fabric upholstery of the frame and use a stiff wire to make a holder in the middle for an ordinary pot with indoor plants. Since the chandelier will hang overhead, I think there is no drainage in the pot - you need to be careful with proper watering of the flower. Theoretically, instead of a wire holder, you can come up with a shelf on which the pot (with drainage) in a saucer will stand.
