Entry DescriptionThis design reimagines the functionality and versatility of a traditional desk lamp by seamlessly integrating multiple features into a single, elegant solution. The lamp features two independently controlled light sources: one for task lighting and another optimized for video conferencing, both fully dimmable and tunable between 2700K and 6000K with a minimum CRI of 90. Crafted from premium materials and weighing 14.5 pounds, the lamp is designed for stability and durability, ensuring a lifetime of use. Its unique folding design allows it to compactly collapse when not in use, while four pivot points and base rotation provide unmatched adjustability, achieving heights from 8” to 33”. The task light is thoughtfully designed with an asymmetric beam to prevent glare on monitor screens and ensure the light source remains invisible to the user’s eye, promoting comfort during prolonged use. Additionally, the lamp includes advanced functionality such as a built-in vacancy sensor, two wireless charging pads, a USB-A port, a USB-C port with 65W power output, and an HDMI port, enabling it to double as a docking station. The video conferencing light delivers an even, flattering glow. This thoughtful design reduces reliance on overhead lighting, lowers energy consumption, and combines utility with sophisticated aesthetics to enhance modern workspaces.
Sustainability ApproachThis design prioritizes sustainability through energy efficiency, material selection, and longevity. High-efficiency LEDs and a built-in vacancy sensor minimize energy use, reducing carbon footprints. The lamp is primarily constructed from aluminum, a highly durable and recyclable material, with packaging made from recycled materials. Its multifunctional design replaces multiple devices, reducing material waste. Modular construction allows for component replacement, extending the product’s lifespan and aligning with circular economy principles. These features combine to create an eco-conscious, energy-efficient solution.
