This geeky test tube light makes me feel a little giddy I can’t explain why. (No, nothing to do with rainbows and the fact I just said “giddy”) I think it’s just simply no matter how hard I try…there will always be a little bit of a nerd in me. Believe it or not, I once was pursing a medical career in college and so I had to take a lot of courses like Organic Chemistry where labs, bunsen burners, and test tubes were par for course. One of the cool things about science labs were always mixing up funky, smelly, colorful liquids together and seeing the result. I’ve always been fascinated by mixing liquids to the point it matches my 3-year-old boys fascination with running tap water. I could just stare at it for hours.
Add that to the simplicity of little glass objects of varying sizes and shapes, it sung to both my now-apparent design sensibilities and geeky side alike. Anyway, here Polish designer Pani Jurek has designed a bunch of light fixtures using test tubes. I want! Don’t know where I’d put it…but I want! (via Gizmodo; Pani Jurek)
