The Flora Lamp was created as a response to the overuse of plastic, which is a material that must be substituted, and from my wish to preserve Slovenian cultural heritage. My design was driven by an endless possibility of using biodegradable material. As an example of a sustainable product, I designed the Flora Lamp. It is made from crushed hornbeam leaves and natural glue, i.e. from 100 % degradable material. The cherry on top is the lace that is enveloping the lightbulb, which presented an additional challenge for the pattern designer and lacemaker Andreja Uršič, as the two-dimensional lace had to be set into a three-dimensional space. This enabled the light from the bulb to draw a traditional Idrija pattern in the surroundings.
