“Where there’s light there must be life.” Omer Arbel [4] places this thought at the core of his beautiful ’38′ chandelier. Designed to illuminate a room with both its brilliance and billowing succulents, this gorgeous hanging lamp also mimics the haphazard nature of plants growing in the wild with a jumble of wire, leafy greens, and light.
In order to create comfortable temperatures for the plants it holds, each of the chandelier’s hanging fixtures is made up of glass-blown bulbs that are shaped to accommodate the in- and outflow of hot and cool air. Each of the large orbs can host two or three lights and plant life, while the smaller orbs make space for cacti [5]and soil-loving greens.
More of Arbel’s awesome designs can be found on his website [4].
