Objects Of Design #273: Crystal Bulb

Lee Broom’s crystal bulb

We couldn’t let a whole month of lighting go past without including Lee Broom’s stunning crystal bulb. This simple idea turns an everyday (often ugly) object into a thing of beauty. The design on the bulb casts a pretty glow over the surrounding wall and creates an intimate atmosphere perfect for a bedroom.

The bulb follows his decanter range but pares it back so it is just the bulb and the light it casts. The braided golden flex also helps. You can buy just the bulb, but you would need to make sure you have a pretty special fitting for it and, of course, you can always change the colour of the flex if gold doesn’t suit.

the lighting is subtle but pretty
