Ice Cube Block Lamp
Melt a heart of ice and light up a heart of darkness this V-Day with the Block Lamp, a desktop illumination design that uses the thought-provoking optical illusion of a light bulb frozen inside an ice cube to diffuse its ambient light. The Block Lamp is a Harri Koskinen creation for Stockholm Design House, and kinda surprisingly, it's been around for over 20 years, having earned a spot in MoMA's permanent collection of modern art in 2000.
The Block Lamp listing here is for a E14 LED light bulb encased in a 6.3" x 3.5" x 4" brick of glass "ice."
