Lumen - A Modern Take On The Classic Bankers Lamp Design.

LUMEN is a playful tribute to the iconic banker’s lamp that was first patented in 1909, and now reimagined entirely in glass. This modern reinterpretation mirrors the classic silhouette and familiar green hue, but swaps traditional brass and metal details for a bold mono-material statement. The lamp is made of two distinct glass components; the base, and the shade on top, each able to be produced in the same glass-blowing facility and seamlessly bonded together.

With a standard lightbulb tucked inside, LUMEN blends heritage and simplicity in a fresh, transparent way that lets form and glow take the spotlight.

The Thinking Behind the Design.

LUMEN's design was created through a broad exploration of idea sketches, covering different directions while staying inspired and directed by the classic banker's lamp. A moodboard helped clarify the visual language, both for myself and for communicating to others.

The ability to 3D print the lamp at full scale offered a valuable final step: allowing the design to be held, reviewed, and refined in real-world proportions before moving forward.
