DESCRIPTION A frosted glass sphere protrudes from a ceramic cylinder, like a distorted sphere of light. The asymmetry of the light source implies the object has a certain direction, or a slight persona. In a practical sense this feature lends itself to being positioned in a corner, perhaps on a desk or in an alcove. In an aesthetic sense it gives the object a bit of character.

INSPIRATION The name and Inspiration for the Lamp came from the Luma Tower, which can be found on Shieldhall Road, Glasgow. The relevance of this building is that firstly it was built as a factory for the production of light bulbs, and secondly because its prominent feature is a distinctive asymmetrical glass tower that helped to illuminate the local area.
