A shift towards minimalism in design has created a number of items being created by designers that take the concept to a whole new level, as seen with the 'Galv_' table light lamp.
Designed by Carlos Manuel Gouveia Borges, the 'Galv_' lamp consists of a bent piece of sheet metal that has been shaped into a somewhat abstract shape. This is paired with an Edison-style bulb that is put on display at the top-front of the lamp to create a warm lighting that is in juxtaposition to the metal base below.
The 'Galv_' table light lamp features a cork-covered socket to add additional texture and variety, which adds to the overall aesthetic to make the lamp an exercise in retro/modern futurism.
