It's a light fixture, no, it's a container, no it's...



One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in your kitchen!



Browsing through a local Toronto paper today and stumbled upon this article photo of a combination herb planter and light fixture called the "Babylon Light".:


Babylon Light fixture with small short plants growing in and out
A Hanging Garden?

According to the spec sheet,

THE BABYLON LIGHT IS A PLANTABLE LIGHT FIXTURE. MADE OF ALUMINUM WITH A POWDER COATED FINISH, IT CAN BE USED  AS AN ORGANIC CENTRE PIECE OR A WORKING HERB GARDEN OVER THE KITCHEN COUNTER. NO MATTER WHERE ITS SITUATED - BABYLON WILL BECOME YOUR VERY OWN HANGING GARDEN.

(Sorry for shouting, the text was all upper case in the PDF)

No price given as you have to inquire with the designer.

Any thoughts/comments on its utility, design, and function?

  1. With all that plant material, my guess would be, "water often."

  2. Hi Helen,

    drainage seems to be an overlooked issue here! Unless we water often and lightly, lol...
