At Lightovo, Polish designers developed a series of lamps that embody symbiotic relationships. Called the “Milo,” each glass-shaded lamp acts as a miniature greenhouse for a potted plant. The inner LED light bulb emits a color temperature of 4000 K to 6000 K, which not only replicates natural sunlight but also proves beneficial for flowering plant species. Because they’re LED lights, overheating the plants is not a necessary concern. The glass shade is constructed with two gaps for air circulation, so the plants are not entirely confined.
This creates a mutually beneficial relationship for both the owner and the plant. The plant benefits from the nurturing light, while the owner receives oxygen from the plant. I think Milo lamps are a clever way of incorporating nature back into increasingly modernized homes. However, the price and shipping might be a bit more complicated…the grand total isn’t readily available until a request has been made.
