A table lamp that explores the new forms made possible by the miniaturization of LED technology. In a way, the incandescent light bulb is broken up and embedded into the skin of the shade. 54 LEDs are hidden in a cylindrical lattice structure, making it seem like light is shining through the hexagonal holes from an invisible point within the enclosed space. It is as if light itself has been trapped within the lattice. (the only place this has been published elsewhere is my behance account)
