Based on the very special design by Sebastian Herkner, there is now an indoor table lamp that continues the unusual design elements such as the large glass shade with enclosed air bubbles.
The design has been adapted from the small outdoor luminaire, but has grown in size many times over. The large luminaire head provides an even better view of the air bubbles, which are reminiscent of an underwater world. The light element shines from the inside and conjures up the magic of the deep sea in your home. Unlike the small version, the on/off switch is protruding and has a knurled rotary knob. The diamond knurling gives this a tactile touch and breaks up the clean design of the aluminium base. The functions of the lights are the same, allowing you to dim the three light colours at will.
