The lamp on this cute little end table is actually powered by the moss that grows in little capsules under the table’s surface. ‘Moss Table’ by Biophotovoltaics proves the power of photosynthesis, the process in which plants turn sunlight into energy. Conductive fibers inside the moss table generate power from electrons in the plants and transmit it to the LED light.
