Lamp Made From A Plant, Controlled Via A Living Interface

German designer Viktor Kölbig has created a house plant/table lamp hybrid that lets you control a light using the interface of a plant.

The project is called Aura and lets you control LEDs by touching a plant or flower—it uses invisible sensors so you can touch an area of the plant and the light can be dimmed or the color changed. The plant rests in a glass vase that sits atop a milled aluminum case embedded with LED lights, which are controlled by a hidden, separate microcontroller
