The Sensory Lamp by Sara Rossbach

The Sensory Lamp by Sara Rossbach

The Sensory Lamp by Sara Rossbach is meant to create a closer connection between our work environments and nature for more productive and stimulating workdays.

The Sensory Lamp by Sara Rossbach

While the lamp mimics natural light cycles by slowly altering in color and intensity throughout the day, creativity and productivity are enhanced by the smell of the grass growing from the
base of the lamp.

    Growing grass in this lamp is just like growing any plant, it needs to be watered and cared for, but in doing so the user’s mind and senses become stimulated.
    I have created only one, so I don’t have any for sale, but hopefully soon!

    Interesting idea. I would imagine you can grow anything in the base, as long as it is compact. Like a mini herb garden or mini orchids or something. I’d buy one.

    I agree, fabulous idea for us stuck at our desks all day! We need more designers like this! I’d buy ten! GENIUS!

    Very nice for those of us who miss nature while inside working. ^^

    I presume you could grow anything in the base, but the grass looks very slick.

    O!

    Id buy a few in a heartbeat. I love the design, and sure the grass may take a bit of work, but that also promotes being some-what active for alot of the inactive cubicle residing inmates of an office.
