Bombe’s Compelling Constellation of Fiery Light

Red is my favorite color, so I’m quite partial to Yellow Goat’s Bombe. I’m also a devotee of synchrony, so I rather admire the double globe effect of the piece’s bulb and shade. In fact, I believe the best things come in threes, and though Bombe’s ostensible two-piece assembly might seem to disqualify it from that appraisal, the glass globe actually houses an energy-efficient CFL, which gives Bombe de-facto membership in this club of handsome threesomes. These qualities certainly recommend this imaginative miniature explosion of light, but the show-stopper is Bombe’s bright red acrylic shade. Resembling a paper sculpture created by the likes of a cheery incarnation of Edward Scissorhands, the shade’s intricate undulations are owed to the high durability and uniform consistency of acrylic, which material captures the effect of this Bombe’s perpetual detonation. Says Yellow Goat, “I wonder if this is what it looks like inside an exploding firework in the split second before it bursts into the night sky? Could be.”
