A modernist aluminum cordless desk lamp with touch-dim LED warmth.
In stock, ready to ship
Encrypted checkout. We never see or store your card details.
Light without the cable
A quiet, considered light for the corner of a working desk.
No cable across the surface
A 2000mAh rechargeable battery means the lamp sits wherever you want it, with nothing trailing across the desk. Charge it over USB and move it as the work moves.
Small footprint, planted base
A slim aluminum stem rises from a low, weighted disc, so the lamp keeps a tight footprint while staying steady. It sits beside a monitor without crowding it.
Warmth you set by touch
Touch-dim LED in warm white lets you bring the level up or down without a switch to hunt for. One button on the base does everything.
3 finishes
Which one is yours
A swatch tells you the colour. This tells you the room it belongs in.
Alloy in White
Reads as light, not as furniture
White keeps a small desk feeling larger than it measures. Against plaster, paper and pale wood it stops registering as an object at all, which is exactly what you want from something that lives in front of you eight hours a day.
Alloy in Black
The one you do not have to think about
Black recedes into a desk and lets the work be the loudest thing on it. It is the finish that photographs cleanly on a call, holds up against every wood tone, and is almost never the decision anyone regrets.
Alloy in Gold
Warmth, in a deliberately small dose
Gold works on the light a room already has rather than adding any of its own. Keep it to one piece per surface and it reads considered. Put three on the same desk and it reads like a showroom.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
Is it really cordless, or does it need to stay plugged in?
It runs on a 2000mAh rechargeable battery, so there is no cable running across your desk while it is in use. You recharge it over USB when the battery runs low. That means you can place it anywhere on the desk or credenza without planning around an outlet.
How big is it, and will it crowd a small desk?
It measures 4.33 inches wide and 11.42 inches tall (11 x 29 cm). The narrow stem rises from a low, weighted disc base, so it keeps a small footprint while staying steady. The slim pin head is meant to sit quietly beside a monitor without dominating the surface.
How do I turn it on and adjust the brightness?
A single touch-sensitive control sits flush on the side of the base. The same button switches the lamp on and dims it, so there is nothing to mount and nothing extra to reach for in the dark. The light is touch-dim warm white.
What color light does it give off?
The integrated LED is a touch-dim warm white, which suits a quiet, considered desk light rather than a bright task beam. The description does not list a cool or daylight setting, so plan on warm white across the dimming range.
What finishes are available?
It comes in matte aluminum across a few colorways: white, black, gold, and a soft warm gray. They share the same body and only differ in finish, so choose the one that fits your desk. The matte surface keeps it reading as a calm accent rather than a shiny object.
Will it stay put or tip over if I bump it?
The stem rises from a low, weighted disc base, which keeps the lamp planted and steady despite the slim profile. That weighting is what lets it hold a small footprint without feeling tippy. Wipe it clean with a soft cloth to keep the matte finish looking right.
Can I use it as more than a desk lamp?
Yes. It is sized for the corner of a working desk or a credenza, and it works as desk-side ambient light, a study lamp, or a sculptural accent. Because it is cordless, you can move it between those spots without rewiring anything.
