LG's Latest Lamp Has a Mini Garden + Grow Light Built Into It

It is always a good idea to get a little greenery in your home, and these days, the tech is advanced enough to help you actually take care of it. LG has developed a few new pieces of furniture that double as planters to bring a little more life into your home.

These new pieces blend tech and nature in ways that we haven’t really seen yet, not only leveraging technology to help grow healthy plants, but also offering a sleek and stylish design that should look great in any home.

The first of the new pieces is an upright lamp, which has a circular lampshade and a garden bed around two-thirds of the way up. The lamp itself actually has two types of lights built into it. There are downward-facing grow lights to help the plants underneath and upward-facing mood lights to keep a room lit up. And, that large base actually holds a 1.5-gallon water tank that will keep the plants hydrated. All of this is in a footprint that takes up very little space, helping make the piece apartment-friendly.

On top of the floor-standing lamp model, LG is also launching another indoor garden appliance – in the form of a side table. The side table is perhaps slightly less traditional in design than the floor lamp, but it still allows for a stylish indoor garden vibe, complete with a lamp for lighting as well as light to keep the plants growing.

This is far from the first time that LG has experimented with indoor gardening appliances. The company first launched the LG Tiiun line in 2021, which was more explicitly designed for plant growth in indoor environments. The Tiiun appliance has two shelves, each of which can hold up to six seed packages. And, it even has a weather control system that allows the appliance to adjust its temperature for optimal growth.

There’s no word on exactly when LG’s new indoor garden appliances will be available, nor how much they will cost, but hopefully, companies like LG will continue to experiment with ways to bring nature indoors more, leveraging technology to keep plants healthy.
