“Flat Bulb” is designed by korean designer Joonhuyn Kim. Unlike ordinary bulbs, its volume is 1/3 smaller, reducing the cost of packaging and transport. Also, its slim shape allows bulbs to be easily stacked and prevents breakage as it does not roll. His work was on display as part of 100% design tokyo.

Of course, we shouldn’t be using incandescents at all, but: cool.
