Plumen is the first low-energy light bulb where design is the centrepiece, not afterthought. Make the bulb attractive and people will spend a bit more and enjoy a better quality of light and a design they appreciate every day. Glass tubes can be bent in many different shapes so why are there thousands of manufacturers but only three designs? Plumen aims to address the problem.

The Plumen 001 works like any other high-quality low-energy bulb – saving you 80% on your energy bills and lasting 8 times longer than a standard incandescent bulb.

The name Plumen comes from the “plume,” the decorative feathers of a bird and “lumen,” the unit of light.

The Plumen 001 is a Hulger product and was designed by Hulger & Samuel Wilkinson.

Each Pop Chart Lab product represents hundreds of hours of research and design work. Since the launch, Pop Chart Lab has tackled everything from beer to culinary devices to the story of a boy’s migration to a town called Bel Air.

Each print is signed and numbered by the artists, from a limited edition.

Using 100 lb. archival recycled stock certified by The Forest Stewardship Council, prints are pressed with vegetable-based inks in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

From classy black or white outlines, to bold punchy colours, BeepArt Wall Decals come in over 50 designs – each customizable in colour, size and even including your own text in some of the tattoo-inspired designs. All are produced on high quality matte vinyl in an array of vibrant colours that are suitable for either indoor or outdoor use.

I discovered Neil through his Etsy Shop, but he’s located right here in London. You can see some of his work displayed on the walls at Über Cool Stuff, and if you place an order in store or directly with him on Etsy, you can pick it up at the store with no shipping charges. We’ve also got a full catalogue of designs in the store for you to check out.

Your own special wall decal is just waiting for you to order it!
