Art of manufacturing
Since its founding in 1962 stared as electric appliance shop, IlKwang Lightings has been producing incandescent bulbs for lighting. The incandescent light bulb, which was easily available at an affordable price, lighted our daily lives up close. The bulbs, which have always been seen only as finished products, are arranged to feel the aesthetic value of the mechanism of complex mechanical equipment. To show the life of light bulb, the second fire invented by humankind, we combinated both noisy and busy factory machine that creates a light bulb with repetitive rotational and linear movements and a calm and beautiful moment made with lightihg that will be put into our daily life.
