19 Jan

The inspiration behind this design was something that had to do with a misshapen, mishap of an everyday normal object. This is why the collection was rightly named Design Virus. When asked “What is a light bulb?” Bergman answered:
“The answer is simple: it is a light bulb that has gone way out of line. Infected by the dreaded Design Virus, these bulbs have taken on all kinds of forms and sizes you wouldn’t expect from such well behaving and reliable little products. Nevertheless, they seem to be enjoying their new free existences.”
It is a handcrafted piece and uniquely blown to take the odd shapes that are presented. They are also blown and left on different furniture pieces to have that rested, melted look. It really does resemble a light bulb that has started to melt and take the shape of whatever item it is resting on. The larger bulbs are a bit intimidating, but the whole purpose of this collection is purely design.
Interior designing entails looking at ever day normal objects and rooms and turning them into an aesthetically pleasing and functional items and spaces. Bergman captured the very essence of design by looking at this specific object from a different perspective and created a new and innovative piece of art.
Not only does it fulfill an artistic need, but it could actually be put to use. These bulbs can also be attached to different types of fixtures that would really set up an interesting design layout.
