Minimalux has just launched its first lighting product during the 2011 London Design Festival with an installation at the 1901 bar of the Andaz Liverpool Street Hotel.

Simply called 'Bulb', the new table lamp pays homage to the shape and materiality of the familiar, but soon to be obsolete, incandescent light bulb.

In thanks and recognition for all its hard work over the last century, Minimalux has freed it from its customary upright and operational mode and is letting it "...rest on its side, relax and enjoy its retirement."

The lamp is fully compliant with a varied and fast changing array of energy saving light bulbs, whilst housing them in a form that recalls their heritage and evolution.

'Bulb' is made from hand blown opal glass with a machined brass stem and cable entry.
