The extraordinary light fixture incorporates a roughly rectangular dish in its stand that is set up to encourage the [growth of grass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo-green-system). There are two sources of illumination built into the clever [desk lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engrid-desk-lamp), one of which is a brilliant set of LED lights designed for the optimal visibility of your books and documents. The second one is at the base of the angular arm and casts a focused beam of red light upon the miniature lawn beneath. This novelty patch of sod can act as a lush surface for setting down your possessions.
