Greenspotlight: Hanging Streetlight Planters Appear in the Netherlands

  • BYTR GREENSPOTLIGHT
    Some of design's most satisfying moments occur when two seemingly unrelated objects are married effectively into something that is much more than the sum of its parts. That's exactly what happened on a small pedestrian street in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, which was dotted with numerous lampposts and small planters that were serving more as clutter than as functional objects. Addressing the issue elegantly, design firm BYTR suggested combining the problematic obstacles into unique, floating streetlights with lush, living lampshades. The design, simply called the GREENSPOTLIGHT, was an instant hit. Who wouldn't prefer these leafy light fixtures hanging overhead to awkward posts and pots blocking your way on a narrow path?
