If I wanted to grow some plants or herbs in my small New York apartment, I'd probably have to do it out on the fire escape — which is rather unwieldy. The Lightpot, designed by Studio Shalub, would be perfect for someone like me, as it doubles as both a lamp and a tiny garden. LED lighting gives the plants some love whatever the lighting situation and, if you're going to bed, you can close the Lightpot to keep things dark.

On top of all of that it also looks great — check out more of the Lightpot in the gallery below.
