Boskke’s Upside Down Sky Planters Save Water And Get In Your Way

Filed under: Design, Household

Oh my! Has the world turned upside down!? No, it’s just these household plants hanging upside down from the ceiling. The designer, Patrick Morris, had the strange desire to hang potted plants from his ceiling. After many trial and error attempts and a lot of soiled furniture, Patrick came up with a unique reservoir system that feeds water directly to the roots without leaks or evaporation, using up to 90% less water than ordinary pots. He’s calling it the Sky Planter.

Realizing the unlimited potential upside down plants have, Patrick and his brother formed Boskke, their New Zealand-based company which sells the Sky Planter for $75 to $195. The best part: You’ve only got to water your plants once or twice a month. The downside: you need a ladder to water them.

Artificial Scenic Window Belongs in a Casino

Sky Factory’s new programmable “SkyCeilings” is just what introverts need to raise their Sims “room” stat. In an effort to make surroundings either at home or at the work place aesthetically pleasing, Sky Factory’s ceiling creates an illusion of nature by introducing changes of light and color; all in real-time as if it actually were to simulate the local rising and setting of the sun.

I live in a room with no windows. I haven’t seen the sun in seven years.  This is exactly the healing tool I need to enhance my physiology and well-being.  Ah fuck it, I love looking like Liz Taylor.

Huge Ceiling Clock

Filed under: Design, Household

This ceiling clock may be massive but it does bare quite a resemblance to your night-stand companion. Doubling as both a timepiece and a functional light source, you’ll stand in amazement watching time fly by. I wonder if there’s an annoying alarm to go with it…
