Description
Overview
Light Bulb, by James Wines for Foscarini, is a built-in LED lamp for the table with diffused light. The White Light version takes the typical bulb shape, and the Black Light version inverts it: the lamp holder gives the light while the bulb stays dark.
Construction
The body is hand-blown glass, painted in the black version. The LED light is carried along a transparent PMMA cylinder inside the glass bulb. The diffuser rests on an aluminium base and a metal ballast, with a dimmer on the cable and a transformer on the plug.

Story
The bulb as an archetype
The lamp belongs to a signature collection that treats the light bulb as an archetype. White Light is the basic icon, with the familiar bulb form.
Black Light
Black Light works on inversion: the bulb housing emits the light, and the bulb itself remains dark. The approach is conceptual, a critical reflection by the architect James Wines.
