A desk lamp on a single curved arm that reaches 24″ over the desk and pivots at the base and the head, so you can light a notebook, a keyboard or the wall behind a monitor. The switch is on the head, where your hand already is.
How it’s made
Steel, powder-coated in black, or solid brass brushed and left to darken, on a weighted round base 7″ across that holds the arm steady at full reach. The head is a small cone that keeps the bulb out of your eyes.
What to measure
The base is 7″ across, and the arm reaches 24″ out and up to 20″ high. Place it on the side opposite your writing hand, so your hand doesn’t throw a shadow. The cord is 6 ft. It ships as a parcel by UPS.
Materials and care
- Powder-coated steel or solid brass
- One E26 bulb, up to 40 W or the LED equivalent (not included)
- Dust with a dry cloth; brass darkens with time, which is part of it
- Imported
It lights the Tern Desk beside the Rail Bookshelf.
