Description
Harri Koskinen is without doubt Finland’s most important designer today. His frozen light bulb Block Lamp for Design House Stockholm is a modern classic. Launched in 1997, it has received numerous awards and became part of MoMA’s permanent collection in 2000.
The idea for the Block Lamp was born during a workshop at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. The students were given an assignment to design a gift for a wedding. ”I had this simple form that I wanted to cast in glass, and got the idea to ’wrap’ something into the glass. I first tried a couple of snaps glasses, but then the same thing happened like always when I’m in the design process – at a subconscious level I started reducing.”
Block Lamp: Cast glass blocks with black textile cord. Bulb included. (W 6.25", H 3.5", D 4")
