‘Vase & Leuchte’ consists of three, differently-sized clear glass lamps composed from an archetypal pendant lampshade surrounded by a cylinder, which can be filled with water and decorated with water plants or cut flowers.
‘The basis of the draft is as well the unusual combination of two articles of different purpose but similar placement in the room. A lamp normally is installed in the ceiling above the dining room table, where in most cases a vase is placed, too. Therefore the idea came up to combine both. The light is pulled down to the table, surrounded by a kind of cylinder, which can be filled with water and decorated with water plants or cuttings. The warmth of the halogen bulb supports the growth of the plants. The roots of the plant form the structure of the lamp shade in which the rays break. So the plant is not only decoration, but also a component of the object.’
