GROW Table Lamp

The GROW Table Lamp is GROWN, not manufactured, from mycelium—the roots of mushrooms!

This biofabricated lampshade utilizes a sustainable crop—hemp—and combines it with a rapidly renewable living organism—mycelium—in order to GROW a lampshade.  In a matter of a few days, the mycelium cultivates a thick network of hyphae through the hemp substrate, solidifying into a solid structure within the custom lampshade molds. After the mycelium has fully matured, the lampshades are demolded, dried and heated, creating a stable, inert and 100% biodegradable product.

The table stand wood is sourced from felled or dying trees in Upstate New York and is sustainably harvested by a woman-owned and run business. Each table stand has been handcrafted in Brooklyn, NY also by a female woodworker and is designed for:

• uses the least amount of materials

• ships flat, thus reducing the carbon footprint

• assembles tool-free with a limited number of components

• is able to be fully disassembled at the end of its life in order to recycle and compost all parts, thus not ending up in a landfill
