The straightforward design of the Bubble Whale is characterised by its bold half-circled body and its thick protection glass. These fixtures have been designed to be splash-proof, gas-proof, dust-proof and were therefore commonly used in highly sensitive areas, for example inside chemical plants. The original reflection plate inside the lamp has been removed to emphasize its industrial appearance. The light features two large E40 LED bulbs, providing a warm glow.

ORIGIN
The fixture originates from one of the largest laboratories in East Germany, where they illuminated one of the main production areas in the complex.
