I give this lamp a (tungs)ten out of ten

The Helix lamp isn’t just a fascinating looking lighting equipment. It is pretty fascinating, but there’s also that sense of deja vu you get until the symbolism hits you. The lamp is an ode to the very symbol of lighting, the Tungsten filament. The iconic shape of the tungsten coil, a characteristic element of every incandescent bulb, is mirrored in the design of the lamp’s outer body. What a clever idea! 💡
