These cool KAWS x Standard collaboration of limited edition filament light bulbs along with KAWS pillows and KAWS companion key chains will be exclusively available for sale at the New York Standard shop.
I was able to get my hands on a few of these bulbs courtesy of The Standard and they’re neato. Exposed bulbs are very trendy these days and these KAWS limited edition (1,000 sets of 3 bulbs each) take this trend to the next level with the signature KAWS XX mark and three fun colors in each set: red, purple and green. These are certainly not reading lights — but they’re really cool for setting a party mood.
KAWS is Brooklyn-based artist and designer Brian Donnelly, who is known for his street art, product and industrial design and toys.
Buy the bulbs and other KAWS merch at The Standard Shop.
BONUS: I’m giving away my set of three KAWS bulbs to one of my US-based Facebook followers. Just “Like” Design Milk on Facebook to enter. I’ll pick a winner on Friday, February 4th and send ‘em out ASAP (with maybe a few other goodies).

First they came for the mercury-vapor bulb ballasts,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a street lamp.
Then they came for the incandescent bulbs,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a lamp.
…
So no trendy filament bulbs for you!!!

These bulbs look really cool. I now feel inspired to create my own twist on Thomas Edison’s invention.

These are very cool – would definitely have to be used in the right setting, though. They look great in the picture above with the long hanging light fitting.
