'urglass' lamp


the 'urglass' project by british industrial designer ellen thomas is a lamp design that
began as an investigation into how people utilize light while taking into considering
its effects on space and the problems involved with portability. the results is a product
that derives its aesthetic from a workman's lamp featuring cleats to conveniently
wrap the wire around.






'I wanted to create a light for all occasions; a light that would be adaptable.
I wanted my lamp to encompass not only some of the functional characteristics
of these products, but also some of their aesthetics; to have a feel of a task
product whilst being aesthetically suited to the domestic environment.'- ET
