Light harvesting is a key step in photosynthesis but creation of synthetic light‐harvesting systems (LHSs) with high efficiency has been challenging. In their Communication on page 1643 ff., S. Zhang and co‐workers report a “natural” design LHS prepared by the entrapment of chromophores in cross‐linked reverse vesicles (cRVs). Aided by the confined nanospace of the vesicles, the system achieved excellent light‐harvesting efficiency and luminescence upon transfer from the organic phase to the water phase.
