Magnifying Glass-Like Lighting

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bob Table Lamp by Roman Shpelyk is Simple and Adjustable

— December 11, 2013 — Art & Design
The Bob Table Lamp is adorably named for its rather basic existence, which, let's face it, is what the name 'Bob' brings to mind. Yet the simple life is almost always synonymous with the good life and that is exactly what people will get with this light fixture.

Perfect for the home or office, the Bob Table Lamp was created by Roman Shpelyk, an industrial designer based in Lviv, Ukraine. Shaped like a magnifying glass, it is made mostly out of wood with a bit of metal and Plexiglas thrown into the mix. It is available in two finishes: natural and black.

Charming in a contemporary sort of way, with a hint of tradition, the Bob Table Lamp succeeds in becoming "a simple design but with interesting details that are meant to entice you," as written on Design Milk.
