This isn't the design studio's first step into crafting [plantable light fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biophilic-lighting), as it introduced the Babylon Light two years ago. This time, Taylor takes that concept but delivers a new light piece in a new design and smaller structure. The Hemisphere Pendant Planter has a [dome sitting at six inches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light) in diameter that holds the plant on top of the light so it grows out naturally in a cascading form down the sides of the light. Another option is a larger dome that has an [opal glass diffused finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant) to emit a softer illumination. This option would hand from a brass colored stem, with a segregated brass element between the hemispheres. The Hemisphere Pendant Planter is currently available for pre-order on Object/Interface's website and will begin to ship in April this year.
