annebet philips: I like it. what is it? lamps


'i like it. what is it?' by annebet philips


dutch designer annebet philips has created a collection of brightly colored, plush, knotted lamps entitled 'i like it. what is it?'.
the series is hand-crafted from stuffed knitted fabric enveloping the electrical wire with an LED light appearing at the end
of each tentacle-like lamp. the user may tie the light piece into various shapes, allowing a reformation of the work at any point.
the LED light bulb does not become heated the way in which a regular light bulb does; due to the heatless aspect
of the light source, the lamp may also exist as a soft, moldable object.
