With their lifestyle company, Houseplant, Hollywood heavyweights Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg strive to redefine the pot smoker stereotype. The brand’s range of design-forward ashtrays and accent pieces is fulfilling a need for sophistication that truthfully hadn’t existed within the subculture’s sphere before the brand’s launch back in 2019.
Following the release of its Strut Lamp a few months ago, Houseplant has now expanded its lighting products for the first time with the addition of the Stack Lantern and the Marble Weight Lamp. The latter is a classier version of the Strut, with similar features, such as the built-in removable anodized ashtray in the base for easy cleaning and the 3,000k LED bulb. While the Strut also features a marble base, the one on the Weight lamp is slightly smaller. And where its predecessor had more of a contemporary flair, this new desk lamp echoes mid-century sensibilities with a domed shade and the weight on the arm that moves it up and down.
Where the Weight Lamp is architecturally informed, the Stack Lantern serves more utility, yet with a stylistic touch. Available in olive green and mint, the Stack is made for the outdoors, whether you’re camping or going for a walk in the woods, with a bridle leather handle for carrying or hanging and a funnel ashtray built into the top to ensure that no roaches get left behind. Perfect for setting the mood with its adjustable dimmer, the lantern also serves as a USB charger, with 15 hours of battery life.
What’s notable about Houseplant’s lighting collection is how accessible it is to non-smokers as well. The ashtray can double as a key holder or trinket dish and the lantern can be used as a small storage space on the go. The Marble Weight Lamp and the Stack Lantern are now available on Houseplant’s website for $450 and $275, respectively.
