Balloon Tischleuchte

Balloon owes elements of its form to the typical antique oil lamps and candle holders with a reflector placed behind the flame to reflect and direct the light. Besides, the natural occurrence of what we often consider the moon to be a light source (next to e.g. fire and the sun) although it is just a reflected light from the sun, gave further stimulus to work with idea of the indirect light.

CFL reflector is situated inside lamp´s cylindrical base. Light shines upwards and enlightens the reflector, which tilts forwards, re-directing and reflecting a diffused glimmer of light.

Through its simplicity and figurative character, the lamp leaves room for associations and fantasy is it a balloon soaring into the air, a small glowing sun or an oversized light bulb?
