WET lamp 2006
design: Scott J. Franklin
handblown borosilicate glass, silicone, silver, 10 watt Xenon bulb
The WET Lamp is an elegant and playful series of glass lamps with an alluring water-submerged light bulb at its center.  Putting an exposed light bulb in water certainly raises some eyebrows, but it also creates an intriguingly simple dimmer switch.  When a thin silver rod is slid into the water, the WET Lamp turns on and becomes progressively brighter as the rod is submerged.
