The designer Marcello Chiarenza’s transformation of the common glass milk bottle into an illuminating light source, changes this common product design into a whole new concept with just the addition of light. Designed in 2010 this shapely light is available as a table luminaire and a ceiling mounted lamp.

The Un Litro di Luce or translated, the Milk Bottle Light is made of an oxidized aluminium frame with a matte silver finish. It installed on a plate separating two halves of 1 liter blown-glass bottles. Within the bottle are two dimmable E27 lamps with a custom camouflaged sensor. The specially designed interplay of light creates a look of invisible mirror separating the bottles. “Milk it does a body good” especially when light is involved.

“The air of the mirror …by Marcello Chiarenza
. .. In my work I suffer the attraction and charm of space,
Orientals would say the vacuum,
that infinite ocean of possibilities,
the place without borders in which flutter the inner voices of all things …
The space,
visions of the world that they originate beyond the appearance,
is the breath of reality unstoppable …
the reality that through the guise of his body over,
pulses with an energy that comes from an inner abyss without end …”
