Antique-Inspired LED Bulbs

The Samsung Classic Bulb Takes a Nod From an Old Design Aesthetic

— October 5, 2015 — Art & Design
You've likely seen Edison bulbs in the light fixtures of a hip new bar or restaurant, but the Samsung Classic Bulb looks to take that same design aesthetic and give it a modern overhaul. Designed by Wonchul Hwang, Hwanwoong Choi, Jusaeng Kim and Minho Cha, the Samsung Classic Bulb naturally uses dramatically less energy than a traditional Edison bulb and will last even longer to ensure you can enjoy the design aesthetic for an extended period of time.

Crafted from plastic to offer a significant weight reduction, the Samsung Classic Bulb features antique styling with brass-colored paint to boot, which makes it a clear winner for fixtures that place bare bulbs on display to effectively blend the old with the new.

1. Antique-inspired LED Bulbs - The Samsung Classic Bulb combines antique styling with modern LED technology, offering energy efficiency and longevity.
2. Design Overhaul of Classic Aesthetics - The Samsung Classic Bulb demonstrates an opportunity for designers to reimagine traditional designs with modern materials and technologies.
3. Integration of Old and New - Combining antique aesthetics with modern functionality, the Samsung Classic Bulb showcases the potential for seamless integration of contrasting design elements.
