Carbon Filament Light Bulb - Oblong

Curator's Notes 

It’s interesting to think that not much has changed with a light bulb since 1879 when Edison invented the first commercially viable model. When we discovered that Yoshiki Tsukamoto designed his own light bulbs, it was refreshing to say the least. Although these bulbs come in standard shapes and screw bases, their carbon or tungsten filaments are completely unique! Each blown glass bulb glows with slender filaments that wrap and wind into distinct sculptural patterns. Used for sconces, lamps, overhead pendants, exposed light bulb fixtures and anywhere creative accent lighting is needed.
