Eero Aarnio's striking Double Bubble is like an illuminated – and illuminating – sculpture for the terrace, patio, balcony, or garden.
Bubble brilliance
The Double Bubble outdoor lamp, or Tupla Kupla as the luminaire is known in Finland, is a weather-proof version of Eero Aarnio's distinctive lighting design introduced originally in 2003. Like its indoor sibling, the Double Bubble outdoor luminaire is fitted with three light sources to ensure an even distribution of light: there's one in each bubble and one in the leg. Characterized by a playful, almost cheeky expression typical of Aarnio's creations, Double Bubble is celebrated as a masterpiece of modern Finnish design.
