A piece of furniture made out of mold is a perplexing piece of furniture, so this fungus lamp will have users confused about how to feel. The lamp is one of the most original designs for a lamp fixture, because it truly is all natural.
The lamp was made by Jonas Edvard and breaks the mold (pun intended) on what should be in the home. Typically mold is to be eradicated on sight, but in these fungus lamps you have a functional piece of furniture with a unique design.
The lamps use used plant fiber and mushroom mycelium and even have a little trick up their sleeves. The plants actually grow mushrooms on them that are completely edible. While it may seem suspect to eat what your lamp is growing, it does seem like an intriguing possibility.
