Foscarini Light bulb LED Table Lamp

Product description

James Wines treats the humble light bulb as both muse and material in his Light Bulb series for Foscarini. White Light preserves the archetype: a hand-blown satin-glass sphere rests on a white aluminium base and glows from within, like the Platonic idea of a bulb made tangible. Black Light, released alongside it, turns that idea inside-out—the metal socket becomes the source of a warm 2 700 K LED, while the glass bulb above stays mysteriously dark, an object lit by its own absence. Each lamp stands roughly six inches tall and plugs in with a fabric-covered cord whose inline slider moves the integrated 3-watt LED from night-light hush to reading brightness. Limited-run packaging printed with Wines’s sketches reinforces the piece’s art-house pedigree, yet the scale and price keep it within reach of design enthusiasts. Perch one on a shelf or pair the black and white versions together; either way, the familiar form of the light bulb becomes a small work of conceptual sculpture—half illumination, half idea—that invites a second look every time it flicks on.
