What: 'Sky planter Chandelier'
an upside-down garden chandelier of real plants and aesthetic light bulbs
Where seen: The Old Shoreditch Station Bar/Cafe (London)

This chandelier really is
astonishing, knowing the plants growing upside down out of their sockets are actually
real. A smart water-filter system in the plant's socket does the trick. The
brand Boskke (bosky means a fledgling forest) improves conventional gardening tools and
products for contemporary urban lifestyles.
Although it looks really
cool, is it practical and make it sense? Why would you want to hang a plant
upside down, to pull a trick on Mother Nature? The designer of the Sky Planter
pots with its patented water reservoir, Patrick Morris, argued it reduces
the watering of household plants up to 80% this way. But another doubt rises:
it is not unlikely some dirt will fall down. So, is it as clean as a normal
downside up plant?
All and all, executed as a chandelier with beautiful low energy bulbs I
think its the perfect fit and make sense. As a loose pot hanging upside down, I
have my doubts.
