LUMINESCENT PLANTS TO LIGHT UP OUR STREETS!
Sophie Hombert
Aglaé is an original design company using the luminescence of plants to light up the scenography of events and soon the streets of our cities!
GREEN REFLEX: A BIODEGRADABLE SERUM THAT ILLUMINATES PLANTS
The concept of luminescent plants was born from the imagination of Sophie Hombert. During her design studies, the young woman worked on a thesis: “The domestication of plants”. She then wanted to give a utilitarian role to plants thanks to luminescence and launched herself in 2017 in the entrepreneurial adventure. She then very quickly established partnerships with research laboratories with whom she invented the elixir “Green Reflex”.
The serum invented, neutral for the environment, once poured into the water of a vase, feeds the plant through its stem and gives it luminescent virtues specific to each species. The light intensity is equivalent to that of a night light. The company uses its innovation for events with prestigious clients who are invested in research. It is now developing its activity in the habitat and space planning market by working on the luminescence of earthen and durable plants for the lighting of city centers, parks, gardens, country roads…
“The lighting of street lamps causes light pollution and is very energy consuming. What we want is to find low-cost, electricity-free, plant-based lighting sources that will promote the greening of cities.”
