The Hot Planet Table Lamp is a sphere full of craters with a light source at the center symbolizing the core of energy within a planet. The body is cast white bronze with a blackened patina and then high polished. The patina gives it great depth and brings out the texture. The raw bronze interior looks melted, possibly caused by the heat of the light source. The Hot Planet Table Lamp works well with Edison style bulbs, and colored bulbs add an interesting twist. The base is steel with a charcoal grey patina and a medium bulb socket. The cord is black fabric covered with a thumb dimmer switch.
