Light reflect light.

The glass is the light.

Don't let the gorgeous design distract you – the light emitting glass known as Planilum created by French design firm Saazs and Saint-Gobain Innovations differs from any lighting you've seen before.

For one, the light seems to be both drawn on the glass and living within it.

For another, it's expected to last for about 20 years since the electric cathode is not in contact with the light's gasses as with a normal bulb.

Instead, electricity applied to the base of the glass runs through transparent conductive layers which excite the plasma gas trapped in layers of glass. Then phosphorus painted on the glass reacts to the plasma and creates a glowing and diffuse light.

While warm, the light is not hot to the touch. Check the video for a closer look. Walk light!
