Boutique hotel chain The Standard has commissioned its own custom lightbulbs whose filaments are replaced with double-Xs that glow with delicate, pastel hues; other boutiques like Chateau Marmont and The Mercer also do their own bulbs.
The 3 watt bulbs have a warm low glow. Dimensions of each globe is about 4.75″ x 2.25″ and they screw into any standard incandescent fixture. We love how they look on a light string using multiple sets. The bulbs are individually boxed with a KAWS and The Standard sticker and then wrapped again in an outer box that holds all three, also co-branded.
