Minerva is characterised by a classic Gaia filament pattern, combined with a smoked monochrome-inspired finish. This custom-smoked glass showcases an industrial, reflective orb when switched off. When switched on, Minerva reveals the warm vortex of Tala filaments from within. The interplay between on/off makes this design both unique and playful. The glass finish is a result of Tala LED's study into creating a translucent chrome finish. The chroming process picks up abrasions and small marks and is processed as a rough and ready finish in line with the industrial materiality of the bulb.
