The Plumen 001 may appear to be just another lowly light bulb, but in fact this original, sculpted eco-bulb is the winner of 2011′s much coveted Brit Insurance Design of the Year Award. Designed by Samuel Wilkinson and created by Hulger, the curved, structural light is the world’s very first designer light bulb and is to be sold for around £20 as a practical ‘design object’. Consisting of two interwoven tubes of glass, the Plumen 001 curves from every viewpoint, creating a variety of patterns and shapes that indulge the eye.
Mobile Geometrics
Clara von Zweigbergk’s hugely popular Themis mobile from last Summer has been tweaked to create a trio of geometrics for the new season. With bold vibrant colours, the strong angular shapes look indestructable - yet they’re only made out of simple coloured paper and wire. Although mobiles are often associated with hanging above babies’ cribs, this fragile, sculptural take on the ordinary offers a refreshing approach to 3D art.
