Design student Peter Kraft from Germany has come up with a concept of expanding light bulbs. Titled Growing Lampshades, the installation of lights is inspired by the natural way light illuminates the darkness.
Kraft explained that when natural light changes the darkness, it happens as a gradual visual process, not suddenly like an electric light does. This gradual process was what Kraft set out to imitate by creating lamps that are expanded and distorted by a heating element inside the bulb, creating spectacular shapes and light games.
The bulbs are made of PET plastic and each bulb can be extended only once.
