This clever lamp is Lexon Orbe and was created in France. It is refreshing to see an object that is compact and smart, rather than just being a giant piece of plastic designed to be seen from space. Orbe values function over being loud.
The magnetic head rotates fully, which is great for focusing on your work or hiding the mess in the corner of the room. It is playful but also aesthetic, unlike those gold-plated things rich people put in their houses to look important. It is IPX4 water-resistant, so a little bit of rain or a spilled drink will not kill it.
Lexon was started in 1991 by René Adda. They have won many awards because they make things that look like art but work like tools. This Orbe lamp was inspired by the cup-and-ball game, showing that even a simple toy can become a very high-quality light for your desk.
Lexon Orbe Lamp is also available on Amazon.
