Stripped down to its barest essentials, the Reflector Lamp, a bare bulb lamp design by Andreas Martin Löf, is a quintessentially [minimalist design element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-delta-lamp).

Simple components that can be acquired at any local hardware store make up the structure of the lamp including a [slab of marble as the base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emit) and a length of rope to cover the wiring. What sets this illuminator apart from a typical light bulb is that half of the bulb has been coated in silver for a [reflective sheen that sparkles and glimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) in the light. Even when it is not turned on, this desk lamp will still be able to reflect the light, making it work as a decorative item.

Those who like interestingly arranged every-day objects will like this bare bulb lamp design.
