A Lamp Containing A Self-Sustaining Ecosystem

German design atelier Nui Studio’s innovative ‘Mygdal’ lamp not only provides illumination, but also allows plants to flourish in windowless spaces.
Designed as a self-sustaining ecosystem allowing plants to grow free of the need for sunshine or water, the hand-blown glass light takes its name from the rough translation from the Danish term for ‘fertile soil’. Speaking of the design, Emilia Lucht and Arne Sebrantke of Nui Studio say, “The aesthetic combination of light and plants inside a mouth-blown and hand-finished glass lamp creates a soothing atmosphere.” For more lighting items, take a look at our shop.
