The Pilea Lamp has been designed by John Junior Kim as a plant-inspired illuminator that will provide users with a way to brighten up their space in a natural, organic way. The light draws design inspiration from the Chinese Money Plant, which is evident thanks to its rounded leaves that are achieved with frosted glass and attached onto dowels. The faux leaves are positioned in a random order to mimic the natural growth pattern of the plant, which enables the bulb within to cast delicate illumination on all directions.
The Pilea Lamp utilizes a single bulb in the middle that allows light to cascade out and create something of an ambient illumination pattern that will be right at home on a workstation.
