You know when you see something you want and can’t stop thinking about it? That’s how I feel about these plant lamps by Mariana Folberg. Since I first wrote about them on My Modern Met, I’ve been dreaming about having one of these potted lights in my studio space. Inspired by botany, Mariana has formed translucent green acrylic into the shapes of leaves. Their intricate engraved veins are what illuminate your space with the soft glow.
The great thing about the plant lamps is that they look great on or off—and when switched off, they look more like a quirky sculpture than practical item. Their true function is hidden until the lights go out.
