Sick and tired of that ugly compact fluorescent bulb in your floor lamp? Completely depressed about the death and banishment of the incandescent light bulb? Well dry those tears and take a look at these beauties. They don't even need a lampshade! Why would you cover these works of art up? Are you crazy? These light bulbs designed by Plumen took home the top prize of "design of the Year Award" at the recent Brit Insurance Design Awards. Not only are these beautifully sculpted light bulbs changing what we see as a necessity to an unspeakable elegance, but these light bulbs, or technically "lamps", are compact fluorescent lamps. That means that yes, these are the same type of lamp that you see in the store with the ice cream swirl top and giant ballast base. Who would have thought that they could be so pretty!
A new, hip restaurant in Brooklyn, New York has these Plumen lamps scattered throughout their space acting as pendant lamps over there salvaged wood dining tables. These unique lamps are the perfect addition to your trendy green space. Even if you're space isn't completely green, these lamps create an interesting focal point in a space while being stylish and saving the earth. That's what I strive to be.... Livia the stylish, elegant, earth-saving designer. Okay, new life goal... be more like the Plumen CFL's. Inspiration from a light bulb, don't judge me. Regardless of your views on the world and whether or not you feel that global warming and the ever-growing oil and energy crisis is just a ploy by the media, there is no denying the sculptural beauty of this product. This lamp is truly an art form and most definitely deserved the "Design of the Year" award. Keep up the good work Plumen!
