The oda lamp by Sebastian Herkner for Pulpo

Oda is a reservoir of light. Sebastian Herkner’s aim was to create a repository or a balloon full of light. The design is inspired by the amazing pictures of water towers shot by German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher. A handblown, tinted glass barrel balances on a simple and elegant metal structure.
