LivingLight is a modular, multifunction luminaire and hanging garden concept for the dining and kitchen area. The design allows fresh produce to be nurtured and enjoyed within the home, while the moist soil is used as an ‘earth battery’ to power OLED lighting. The glow of these lighting fixtures creates a unique ambient experience as the plants are highlighted and cast shadows on the surfaces below. Smart lighting technology means the lights only function once natural light levels are low, providing a multi-sensory cooking and dining experience that is unobtrusive and intuitive. The key ideal behind the LivingLight concept is the notion of authenticity- envisaging an object that doesn't need to plug into a wall to work, but instead relies on the ingenuity and beauty of nature to enhance the experiences in the ‘heart of the home’.
