Created by Spanish designers CrousCalogero for Estiluz, the Balloon Lamp is a very simple, clean and playful lighting fixture, pleasing children and adults alike.
Emitting a soft and warm light, the lamp's shade is made of satinized polyethylene, a translucent material that hides an energy saving fluorescent bulb. A thin red cable hangs subtly from the shade, serving as a switch in the wall version (a ceiling option is also available).
It's the perfect fixture for a young one's room, but also for a couple's alcove or a modern living room. Seeing it in person immediately made me smile (and desire one for myself)!
