This is Emilia Lucht and Arne Sebrantke of German design studio We Love Eames, and they wanted to create a lamp that would allow greenery to grow in windowless spaces. They drew many different ideas, but settled on one they named the Mygdal Plantlamp, a lamp that would allow a plant to grow inside it, without the use of direct sunlight and water.

LZF Lamps’ inventive 2016 campaign, Telling Tales, features a collection of stories wherein the lamps support and illuminate the lives of the story’s characters. The award winning, internationally acclaimed company was founded by Marivi Calvo and Sandro Tothill twenty years ago after they designed a lamp for their home in Valencia, Spain, from wood veneer which they discovered had an ethereal quality to diffusing light. Timberlite, the ecologically treated veneer they’ve since developed, allows the wood to be hand bent into every shape their unstoppable imaginations allow —from a suspension lamp inspired by Agatha Christie, to the giant Koi Lamp the firm designed and unveiled at Milan’s Euroluce/Salon del Mobile in 2015.
