Competition Winner: IKEA 2004

This concept lamp by Clabots won a design competition for Ikea at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, and was selected for production. It combined a hanging planter and a light. The branches and leaves of the plant hung over the shade, and the shadows created by the leaves gave the light an organic element - something artificial light typically lacks. Because of its dual use, the lamp was invisible beneath the foliage when it was not in use.
