Golden bubbles burst into light in design studio Tangent’s playfully alternative KIHOU lamp. At the bottom of KIHOU’s ceramic container, LEDs are attached to a petite pump. With each exertion, the pump pushes air up through the gooey substance which fills the bowl, and a metallic yellow bubble blossoms through a thin layer of black silicone oil. “The rhythm of bubbles, unexpected noise, stickiness of the liquid and lightness of the oil, and the mysterious contrast between the golden light and black surface all breathe life into this small cube, sublimating it into a product that people can feel an affinity with,” describes Tangent on their website.
