Hand-blown Glass, Solar Panels, LEDs, Dirt and Plants

TOKEN was approached by XDESIGN to develop and prototype a marketable product that represents specific educational and environmental goals through an augmented light fixture.

Below is a detailed excerpt from XDESIGN:

The GreenLight is a prescription product developed for the XDESIGN Environmental Health Clinic. The light is prescribed for Inpatients interested in changing their relationship to energy systems; improving indoor air-quality and developing experience with closed and coupled systems design–the chief strategies for improved environmental performance.

This lighting product diffuses light by coupling to photosynthetic processes. Planting strategies can be specified to address particular indoor air quality issues including VOC, benzene and formaldehyde removal.

The GreenLight was presented at Next Fest in LA.

Watch the making of the GreenLight project here.
