# Whimsical Glass Bubbled Lamps Youngeun Seo Designs the PEEKA Bulbous Lamp with a Playful Influence By Amy Duong | Published 2024-04-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peeka References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2024/04/01/enchanting-glass-bubble-lamp-peeks-from-surfaces-like-a-playful-fairy/)  Youngeun Seo designed the PEEKA, which is a table lamp that is made from glass materials and takes on a bulbous bubble-like shape. It is inspired by the playful look of bubbles for a nostalgic and childlike experience. The table lamp starts with an uneven glass sphere as the main structure, reminiscent of the aforementioned bubble and it is reflective of the shape it takes on a few seconds before it pops. The glass has a murky look closer to the bottom and is clear at the top to evoke a soft illumination. It is set on a cast aluminum base foundation that is shaped like a thin disc -- this is representative of the 'ground; that the bubble rests on.
