The 'cactus' lamp from design retailer pulpo draws inspiration from nature and is the work of designer Mickaël Koska. The home accessory is crafted from borosilicate glass and steel materials, mimicking the thorny plant of the same name, with each piece featuring a colorful centerpiece element in either black or brass options. Additionally, each lamp boasts a sculptural glass shade in textured smokey grey or transparent options.
The lamp's textured look is reminiscent of linear pleating and is a minimalist take on organic forms found in nature. Inspired by "the symmetry of tall grown, succulent ensembles," French designer Mickaël Koska creates an illuminated art piece for one's home. Doubling as a functional sculpture, this lamp is perfect for minimalist and industrial spaces.
