Better Living Through Geometry
When your friends see it, they’ll think it’s a satellite, a molecule,
a virus, jewels, or an electric flower. Watch as they experience what is not
just a cool lamp, but an insanely cool presence. An awesome party light, giving
off a warm glow, like candles. You’ll use it for personal mood lighting,
daily, since the bulbs will rarely, if ever, burn out. And my world, Watson,
just look at it! Why turn it off? A great nightlight, still visible as a delicate
electric gem in direct sunlight. You don‘t turn off a sculpture. You
have just become an art patron.
D Four Three Eight Three Three Zero S
That’s its US Patent number. Look closely. Your Bulbohedron uses a single
metal part, repeated 30 times, assembled into a shell using 120 rivets. They’re
made in Nik’s New York City Studio using computer-controlled machine
tools, and assembled by hand. Brass, stainless steel, aluminum, Bakelite and
glass, packed with electronics too, including the sexy surgical stainless
steel dimmer knob, right on top. You have discovered one of the coolest thought
provoking objects available at any price. Bright enough to read by, the warm
glow of a fireplace included.
Intensely Calming, Like a Purring Tiger
Snuggle up to an enlightening mood enhancer, the calming radiance of an oil
lamp mated to terrible and confrontational Beauty, like staring into the face
of God. Pure Geometry. Pure Physics. A Platonic solid cast in our own time,
the Atomic Age, recapturing the magical effect electric lighting had in the
Victorian Age. Electricity associated with the Life Force itself. A twitching
frog leg was big news. The icosahedron is the only mathematical solution for
distributing 20 light bulbs around a central hub. This is not design: it is
Discovery.
Note the full range dimmer knob.
