Viride by Goula / Figuera
Organic Light
For all serial plant-killers out there, Barcelona-based designers Álvaro Goula and Pablo Figuera have come up with a clever and stylish product to help keep your indoor plants alive.
Viride is a series of sleek plant-holders with LED panels attached to spindly arms portruding from the base. The different models are designed to provide optimum light for different types of plants and can be programmed to switch on and off automatically, thus replicating the ideal growing conditions. One version even has an integrated sprinkler. If, despite all this high-tech assistance, you still manage to kill the plant, then at least you are left with a rather good looking lamp.

Product Inspiration
Go natural and sculptural at the same time with wood furniture in standout shapes. Try the Gavotte armchair from Moustache, the Triku oval table from Alki and the Overdyed side chair from Moroso.
For beautifully natural and sculptural lighting look no further than the wood veneer lights of LZF, such as the stunning Swirl suspension light and the Air table light. The Material pendant in cork from New Works also works well.
For naturally sculptural accessories check out the Tree vase from Sena Gu, the Sula carafe from Incipit and the Hara candle from Andrei Urem.
