Plumen 001 Wins Design of the Year Award

This week the winner of the Brit Insurance Design of the Year 2011 was revealed as the Plumen 001, the world’s first designer lightbulb. The Plumen 001 beat over 90 entries to win the award, held at the Design Museum in London.


Designed by British designer Samuel Wilkinson and product design company Hulger, the lightbulb is formed by two intertwining glass tubes, which create a new silhouette from every angle. Using 80% less energy and lasting approximately 8 times longer than a typical incandescent bulb, this product is stylish and energy efficient.

The Plumen 001 along with the other shortlisted designs are currently exhibiting at the Design Museum until 7th August 2011, definitely one to check out.
