Lighting Design: the 'Oda' glass lamp by Sebastian Herkner for Pulpo

What a beautiful handblown glass lamps! It's the ‘Oda’ glass lamp designed by Sebastian Herkner for the German design brand Pulpo. The collection is inspired by photographs of industrial water towers taken by German artistic duo Bernd and Hila Becher. Much like these structures, the main body of the lights has a rounded form that is supported by a metal frame. "Like the silos and water towers of which they are inspired, Oda's simple forms appear both subdued yet bold," explained Pulpo. Designed by Herkner in 2014, the Oda lamp is one of the brand's most popular products and is available in three sizes and a range of colours.
