Harri Koskinen’s frozen light bulb Block Lamp is a modern classic. Launched in 1997, it has received numerous awards and became part of MoMA’s permanent collection in 2000. The idea for the Block Lamp was born during a workshop at the University of Art and Design Helsinki. The students were given an assignment to design a gift for a wedding. ”I had this simple form that I wanted to cast in glass, and got the idea to ’wrap’ something into the glass. I first tried a couple of snaps glasses, but then the same thing happened like always when I’m in the design process – at a subconscious level I started reducing.” Material & Dimensions DESIGNER Harri Koskinen COLLECTION TITLE Design House Stockholm DIMENSIONS (MM) Large: 160×100×90 mm / Mini: 120×75×70 mm DIMENSIONS (INCHES) Large: 6.25”×4”×3.5” / Mini: 4.75”×3”×2.75” DIMENSIONS BOX (MM) Large: 165×165×110 mm / Mini: 140×90×165 mm DIMENSIONS BOX (INCHES) Large: 6.5”×6.5”×4.3” / Mini: 5.5”×3.5”×6.5” PRODUCT WEIGHT (KG) Large: 3 kg / Mini: 2
