pCore77’s Hand-Eye Supply is happy to invite you to our first reception: the US debut of the a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/hulger_launches_the_plumen_001_the_worlds_first_designer_low-energy_light_bulb_17355.asp”Plumen Light Bulb/a, the world’s first designer energy saving bulb. The story of the Plumen is one dear to our hearts here at Core77: it is one of innovation, sustainability, and good-old fashioned can-do making./p

pThe a href=”http://plumen.com/”Plumen 001/a is the culmination of three year’s of development effort by the small British firm Hulger. Known for their retro Skype phone handsets Hulger strives to soften technology with a poetic, human touch. In the Plumen they have employed recent advances in compact fluorescent lamps to enable a mass-market make-over of one of modern life’s unappreciated workhorses. The resulting form is worthy of its predecessor’s visual-icon status. Plumen’s intertwined loops are reminiscent of the glowing filaments of early clear bulbs, adding a subtle retro aspect to a thoroughly contemporary design./p

pThe lamps will be available in October exclusively for the UK and European markets. Though they work with any normal screw-in lamp fixture the bulbs require European voltages to operate properly. The Plumen bulbs at Hand-Eye Supply are pre-release and retrofitted to accept US electrical current./p

pCome join us for some elbow-rubbing, libations and fun; we’ll be raffling off one of the bulbs at the end of the night!/p
