The IVY Light, made from LEDs, is an organic lamp that you plant in a flower pot. Shade is produced naturally by the ivy that grows over it.
It was created by Izabela Cichecka and Marcela Kawka. Cichecka’s writes that inspiration for the lamp came from the human requirement to have contact with nature, not enough plants in public spaces, anti-human architecture, life in continuous stress and hurry (rat race) and technology imitating solutions applied by the nature.
The IVY Light is perfect for the organically inclined person who doesn’t mind not having shade for awhile. However, if the ivy planted grows as fast as it does outside, the wait for shade shouldn’t be too long.
What's Driving This Trend
- Organic Lighting
- Opportunity for lighting companies to create more organic and sustainable lighting solutions like the IVY Light using natural resources.
- Biophilic Design
- Opportunity for architecture and design industries to incorporate more natural elements like plants to promote health and well-being in public spaces.
- Smart Nature Tech
- Opportunity for technology companies to create more nature-inspired solutions, like the IVY Light, that improve human connectivity to nature.
Who This Affects Most
- Lighting Industry
- Industry could adapt to the IVY Light's sustainable and organic approach to lighting by creating more eco-friendly and innovative lighting solutions.
- Architecture Industry
- Industry could adopt biophilic design, used in the IVY Light, to build more health-focused public spaces that prioritize the human-nature connection.
- Technology Industry
- Industry could develop more technology that mimics nature, like the IVY Light's reliance on plant growth, to create more sustainable and innovative solutions for daily life.
