The daily lemming

Very much not my lemming, but presumably it is somebody's: the limited edition Infra Luna 2.0* from Byredo. "[...] Taking inspiration from the insect world and transposing it into bold industrial design, experience, form and function intersect with the INFRA LUNA 2.0 desk lamp, the second collaboration between Ben Gorham and [light artist] Benoit Lalloz. [...] In a hybrid project combining scent and sculptural light design, the surprise is visual but also olfactory. Playing with temperature to release the scent of the candle placed underneath - the heat from the lamp’s halogen bulb melts the candle wax - has a spirit that is part lab, part installation. Creating a gentle halo of light and an additional halo of scent, the INFRA LUNA 2.0 is as inventive as it is intriguing." €2500, includes bulb but not candle, available in pink or silver. [*There was apparently a 1.0 version of this lamp back in 2022; I missed it.]
