The Plexiglass Lamp is meant to create the perfect starry night right in your living room. The mood setting design uses an energy-saving bulb that hides in the base of the light bulb. The light source is shot through the plexiglass rods to create the perfect setting for a romantic night in.
Even when unlit, the Plexiglass Lamp looks like a piece of modern art. Check it out in the gallery above!
Implications - Consumers are trying to conserve energy costs due to the recent economic downturn. Low-energy products also satiate consumer desire to reduce their carbon footprints upon the planet, a pattern that's proliferated on a societal scale. Corporations looking to influence consumer purchases may find it advantageous to engineer their products to utilize as minimal energy as possible.
