Set the Mood, Save Some Energy with "Hollow"

Designed specifically for use with energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs, "Hollow" mood lights from UK-based designers Blue Marmalade are a great way to turn down the lights (and turn up the romance). It's available in a variety of color combinations ranging from cool white and gray to punchy orange and yellow, and it's smart, utilitarian shape allows it to be used in a variety of ways, including lying on its side, standing on its edge or suspended from the ceiling as a pendant.
We've featured Blue Marmalade's work before and are still impressed with their ability to create great shape and structure from a minimal amount of materials. Though it's a bit too late for this year's Valentine's Day-related mood-setting, we'll bet there's a few more times throughout the year you'll want to turn down the lights. Hit the jump for more pics. ::Blue Marmalade
