This design of the low energy lightbulb by designer Samuel Wilkinson and product design agency Hulger, has just won the Brit Insurance Design of the Year 2011.
They overcame more than 90 other entries to win the prestigious title. Jury Chair Stephen Bayley presented the award at the awards ceremony held at the Design Museum.
The Plumen 001 is a creative and imaginative redesign of the current shape of the energy saving light bulb. Its stunning silhouette and beautiful form was chosen as the overall winner from the seven categories and was crowned the Brit Insurance Design of the Year.
These light bulbs have never been regarded as a stylish product, the Plumen addresses this by creating a new bulb which works just like any low-energy bulb. The bulb uses 80% less energy and lasts eight times longer than an incandescent bulb.
