1000 hours

1000 hours Jacob Alkema 2005

The genesis of this object was just a funny experiment. This first object lasted only a few hours, but the beautiful shining of the highly polished resin made a lasting impression. You buy one, you get 10! Because the temperature of this objects stays low it's possible to place them like a candle on a sill or bookshelf, without worrying about curtains or books……

The name of the lamp comes from the standard lifecycle of an incandescent lamp à 1000 hours. Due to a lot of research this object will last over 15.000 hours (15 years of burning, 3 hours a day). '1000 hours' is really an ode to the incandescent lamp in an era of Fluorescent, LED and Neon lighting.

Materials: resin, Osram light bulbs
