Kristyna Pojerova’s Glasshouse Pendant Lamp

Terrariums are quite popular right now, as is growing your own edibles at home. Kristyna Pojerova‘s design combines the two into one stunning pendant lamp. The ‘Glasshouse‘ is beautifully constructed with an onion-shaped glass orb in which the greens and light source can be accessed from below. The unique shape promotes and supports growth (akin to the incubation effect of a traditional glasshouse or cloche), and the light shining from above supports photosynthesis even in darker spaces. Plants can be watered via the holes above.

Quite possibly the world’s most recognized designer chair, the iconic Eames fiberglass shell chair has been born again! Back 1950, the chair was released by Herman Miller and manufactured in fiberglass, but eventually abandoned in the 1990s due to health concerns associated with the production and application of fiberglass. Since then, other materials have been employed, but it’s the original mid-century modern masterpiece that has continued to capture the hearts of design enthusiasts. In response to the unwavering demand for the classic, Herman Miller has has just released its brand new Eames Molded Fiberglass Shell Chair in eight eye-catching vintage colors, made from eco-friendly, recyclable fiberglass. These new beauties carry the same aesthetic as the first generation, but are now fully customizable.
