Holonzki Wall Lamp
Manufacturer: Ingo Maurer LLC
Designed by Eckard Knuth and Ingo Maurer, the Holonzki Wall Lamp seems like an ordinary incandescent light bulb but it’s not. The light is actually a colored hologram reflected on a glass plate. The concept of a bulb that’s not an actual bulb results in a unique artistic light!
