Växa

Category: Interior

Växa is a GIY (Grow-It-Yourself) kit table side lamp. It comes with bioplastic PLA skeleton, dehydrated moss that rehydrates once watered, a growth mix which is a Bio Based glue which helps it grow onto a surface and the rest of the electric components. The structure form is very flowy but uniform and complements the growth. My future plans are to experiment with more structures. The aim is to integrate living organisms into our lives as active participants in a shared ecosystem, moving beyond their use as mere tools or materials. This envisions a future where living artefacts foster new ways of relating to our surroundings, prompting a reconsideration of our relationship with the natural world and the role of living matter in our designed environment. With this in mind, it leverages the unpredictability in growth patterns as one of the aesthetic choices and appeals, as it differentiates each product from the other, and makes it a standalone piece in itself. With further development, this along with many other products in this range will be more resilient and consumer ready.
