Luna is a lantern designed by Acorn Studio that looks like a miniature version of our moon. Made from glass fiber and latex, Luna comes in 7 different sizes ranging from 3.2 inches to 23.6 inches.

The water and heat-resistant lantern has 5 levels of luminosity and its designers say it can handle bumps and bruises from contact.

 

The design studio launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo seeking $40,000 for production. Since launch, demand has been through the roof, with over $300,000 raised with over a month to go in the campaign.

Each and every Luna lantern is handmade and one-of-a-kind. The lantern is powered by a long-lasting and energy-efficient LED bulb. The moon lantern has a 13 ft cord with a two-prong plug designed for 110V.

Regarding Luna’s “topographical accuracy”, the designers say the artwork is inspired by the moon but does not strive to be an exact replica.
