Plant Pedestals

Made from beechwood, the taller pedestal stands just under five inches, while the shorter iteration is just under three.

Now, Morris and the Flyte team are taking the concept even further, as they introduce Lyfe, an eye-catching zero-gravity growing system that lets users grow plants in mid-air. Like the Flyte lightbulbs, Lyfe’s planters rotate in the air, giving all sides …
