Designing Diva Interiors

“Even though some argue that the CFL bulb is “so 2008″ and that it’s high time we move onto LEDs, a CFL is still a much wiser choice than the now antiquated incandescent. Belarusian industrial design firm Solovyovdesign has come up with an aesthetic that makes this sentiment even more obvious: the CFL bulb as human brain. Playing off of the old good idea as lightbulb over your head, the conceptual design highlights the CFL as a smart choice for personal lighting. The bulb is the same size as any other CFL. One can only hope they’ll come up with something equally as clever when LEDs take over!”
