The idea behind this lamp -The ‘almost born’ has started breaking its egg, letting the first ray of life come inside. From outside translucent shell is glowing with signs of life. The lamp is a metaphor of life.

A team of young international designers work @ Hong Kong based Creativoo and design new kind of visual stimulus with tradition defying ideas.

These three lamps are from Creativoo’s designers under the brand name Minglo (pronounced Ming-Glow) from the T-series lamps.
