Landscape Cup Lamps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Lighting Cup Transforms a Tea Cup into a Ambient Lamp

— February 25, 2016 — Art & Design

The lamps, dubbed the Lightning Cups, feature a series of modular landscapes depicted on an upside down tea cup. The landscapes feature illustrations of mountains and the sun,c capturing Soomook-sansuhwa artistry into the lamp's design.
