Sometimes you find design that’s just, well, cool. This Edoma light by h220430 is made to look like it’s covered in frost. Via sixdifferentways:

Edoma is designed by h220430 to represent the permafrost currently in Siberia. Within the permafrost, Edoma is a layer of ice that is no less that 40 meters thick, which is approximately 131 feet.
h220430’s website states that the permafrost has begun to melt in recent years. A high-concentrate methane has been found within the permafrost, specifically in Edoma, which is 1000x the methane that exists within the Earth’s atmosphere. Once the Edoma begins melting, there are concerns that global warming will be a far more serious issue than it is now.
To create awareness of this issue and to broaden perspective towards our global environment, h220430 created the Edoma light to represent the Edoma ice. The Edoma light is an incandescent lamp that is slowly disappearing, with a faint light shining through the methane.
Good design that highlights an important issue = win. Hopefully this can help us keep global warming under wraps. Otherwise, it’ll be nice to have a product around that reminds us what ice looked like.
