A "living" chandelier filled with seaweed

Julian Melchiorri is a designer and researcher in biochemical technology, living and working in London.

It is the origin of this prototype "living" chandelier, which not only serves as lighting, but actively purifies the ambient air. Its glass leaves or petals are filled with a solution of green algae that absorb CO2 and release oxygen.

The innovative design of the luster is the result of many years of development and development of its unique "artificial leaf" technology. By working with microbiological life forms, the bionic leaf is based on the fundamentals of photosynthesis.
