InnerTube
Year: 2006
Production: self production / 2006
Materials: rubber, circline TL light
Dimensions: Ø30cm
Award: Henry van de Velde Label Award Design Vlaanderen 2006
Whilst we have seen many attempts of soft lamp-shades, InnerTube really interrogates the relationship between a material and its application. In this case, the soft and flexible rubber shade is maintained in shape by the light source itself. Indeed, the shade is stretched around the circular glass tube. Contact between the two elements is fine as the tube only gets warm.
