Bubbling Wall Lamps

The Bolle Applique Fixture Has a Beautifully Bumpy Texture

— January 29, 2014 — Art & Design
Smoother textures of glass and ceramic are typically used to make light fixtures, but evenness of surface is not something that you'll find about the Bolle Applique wall light. Selvaggia Armani designed this idiosyncratic illuminator for ExNovo that is more reminiscent of a cluster of cells, a dollop of caviar or a of round billowing cloud.

The convex form of the wall scone is detailed with a mass of bulbous protrusions that bear a likeness to soap bubbles or sea foam. They've collected together in an unpredictable and apparently organic pattern in all different shapes and sizes. The visual effect of the Bolle Applique lamp is enhanced with the soft emission of light through its translucent and effervescent face.
Trend Themes
1. Organic Lighting - The Bolle Applique lamp's unique and organic form presents an opportunity for the development of lighting designs inspired by natural shapes and textures.
2. Textured Surfaces - The bumpy texture of the Bolle Applique lamp opens up possibilities for incorporating textures into various products and materials, such as furniture or home decor.
3. Unpredictable Patterns - The random arrangement of bulbous protrusions on the Bolle Applique lamp suggests an opportunity for creating designs that embrace non-linear and unconventional patterns.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting - The Bolle Applique lamp introduces a new design approach in the lighting industry, encouraging the exploration of unique and visually striking fixtures.
2. Home Decor - The bumpy and textured surface of the Bolle Applique lamp can inspire the creation of distinctive decorative pieces that add visual interest to interior design.
3. Furniture - The organic and irregular shape of the Bolle Applique lamp could be translated into furniture designs, offering a fresh and unconventional aesthetic.
