From the designer
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 it’s situated – Babylon will become your very own hanging garden.

Very neat. My only concern would be watering the plants while avoiding a potential electrical issue.

What a happy idea.

Very neat looking, a couple questions though:
Like Tom said, how do you water it? Also, how deep can the soil/growing media be? Too shallow and the plants won’t live long… Any drainage?
Cool looking idea, practically it’s got some flaws though…
