The "Emil & Clara" lamp installation, from Austrian design office mischler

The "Emil & Clara" lamp installation, from Austrian design office mischler'traxler's Relumine series, is reproduced from Lightopia, just out from the Vitra Design Museum. Essayist Jolanthe Kugler cites the lamps' "ironic commentary," explaining, "For the exhibition Bulb Fiction the studio developed the Relumine series (2010). Each installation consists of two classic luminaires designed to house a conventional light bulb, replaced here by a fluorescent tube that connects the two luminaires. The new light source not only sparks a dialogue between the two luminaires, but radically alters their appearance and expression. With a view to energy saving, it is good to know that the luminaires together now require less energy than they did in their former lives."
