Spherical Bulb Lamps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Table Lamps Work as Quirky and Functional Decor in Any Space

— August 23, 2016 — Art & Design
These table lamps have spherical bulbs that function as the primary design focus of the decorative items.

Most lamps feature structures or added shades that work to make the light sources more interesting to look at, but the 'Control Table Lamp,' designed by TAF Architects, forgoes that path by only showing off its bulb. The resulting home decor item is minimal but still stylish. It sits on a rectangular metal tray that comes in different colors including white, black and orange, while a control knob as well as a bulb holder make up the rest of the lamp. The light source is a spherical bulb that is larger than most and almost perfectly round.

This lamp is an example of home decor that is both functional and quirky.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Home Decor - The trend of minimalist home decor is focused on functional yet stylish design, such as lamps that showcase the bulb as the primary feature.
2. Quirky Lighting - The trend of quirky lighting explores unconventional and unique designs for lamps that add a touch of whimsy to any space.
3. Spherical Bulb Design - The trend of spherical bulb design is centered around using large, almost perfectly round bulbs as the main focal point in lamps.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of functional and quirky lighting by creating minimalist lamp designs that showcase the bulb.
2. Lighting Design - The lighting design industry has the opportunity to tap into the trend of quirky lighting by creating unconventional and whimsical lamp designs.
3. Electronics Manufacturing - The electronics manufacturing industry can embrace the trend of spherical bulb design by producing large, spherical bulbs for use in unique lamp designs.
