This lamp turns the familiar on its head: it’s not the bulb that lights up – it’s the socket.
The bulb is printed in opaque material, giving it a solid, sculptural presence. The socket, by contrast, is printed in transparent filament and features an internal thread channel, into which a flexible LED strip (5 mm wide, 1.2 m long) is embedded.
The socket consists of two parts: the socket main part and the socket bottom. After placing the LED strip into the thread channel, these two parts can be assembled using the clamp ring, which locks everything into place. Simply place the ring between the main and bottom parts and press them together.
Finally, screw the bulb into the socket - and let it be light!
