Spongy Sphere Lighting

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Miguel Garcia Belmonte Sponge Illuminators are a Bright Idea

— November 8, 2011 — Art & Design
Miguel Garcia Belmonte ‘Sponge’ outdoor lighting is a mix of a visually pleasing aesthetic and functional design. The outdoor ceramic lighting is fabricated to resemble a spherical sponge. The curved shape of the lamps is sleek and dynamic in their simplicity, while their perforated surface let's small bits of light escape.

Though simple in their design, these outdoor lights are sophisticated and beautiful in their detailed style. The perforated effect and sponge-like quality of the pieces allows the lamps to modulate light in a night-time outdoor setting. These lovely lamps are a sure way to brighten up the look of any garden or patio area and are available in two different sizes. Whatever one may choose to light up, this product proves that function and aesthetics can coincide hand-in-hand.
