You would think that candle design is a fairly static thing, but there are a whole bunch of creative people going far beyond what you might expect for our warm, scented friends.
Check out the full story at CoolHunting.
Despite being outdated, inefficient, and harmful to the environment, the oldschool Edison Lightbulb has somewhat of a cool factor.
And with good reason. It’s a classic, providing a certain sense of nostalgia and warm, glowing comfort that suits the romantic restaurant scene perfectly.
But the trend of using these bulbs for restaurant interiors can’t continue for long, it’s just not environmentally friendly.
So London based design brand, Buster and Punch, have come up with a solution.
The Buster Bulb possibly the sexiest lightbulb we’ve ever seen. It’s also far more efficient than the Edison Bulb thanks to that fancy LED technology.
Often criticised for its clinical and harsh lighting, crafting the LED to be softer and more beautiful product is definitely a challenge.
But Buster and Punch seem to have done it, and done it right.
But style doesn’t come cheap. A Buster Bulb will cost you around AUS $100 (plus postage from London), $250 for a bulb and pendant, and $340 for the leather light shade by itself.
Then again, you could always pick up an Edison for few bucks.
