Standing at an impressive 165 cm tall with a 155 cm round diameter, the Flight Pot is a giant public planter that adds substantial greenery to any open space.

Rocket - the archetype of geometric perfection. Pure, refined sheets of perforated metal are joined together to create a triangular prism of light, and proves that less truly is more. In fact, it is utterly mesmerizing.
In this lamp, Jangir Maddadi chooses a form that reminisces on his boyhood interest of Space Age technology, and couples that with his steadfast philosophy that design must turn everyday objects into ones of utter beauty. The power of its form, decisive and prominent, makes this lamp a striking object of beauty - even when it’s turned off.
The marriage of form and function is a brilliant dance: A prismatic sculpture becomes a household lamp with just the flick of a switch. The careful choice of translucent material gives Rocket the weightlessness it would need to burst into space at any moment.
