Mid-century desk lamp
A dome and sphere on a slim stem, mid-century modernism scaled for the desk
A small, deliberate silhouette
The dome and sphere balance on a slim stem in glossy enameled iron. It is pure mid-century form, sized to slip onto a credenza, a monitor shelf, or the corner of any working desk.
Color you actually choose
Nine hand-painted options, from Yellow and Green to White and Black. The enamel goes on by hand for a true, even color rather than a thin printed coat.
Runs off any USB
It plugs straight into any USB port already at the desk: a wall adapter, a monitor, a power strip. No proprietary brick to track down.
9 finishes
Which one is yours
A swatch tells you the colour. This tells you the room it belongs in.
Bud in Yellow
The one you notice from the doorway
One warm accent does more for a desk than three careful neutrals. Put yellow where the eye lands first and the rest of the setup can stay as plain as you like.
Bud in Orange
Heat, used sparingly
Orange is warmth you can see from across the room. It wants a plain surface around it and rewards you with a desk that looks arranged rather than assembled.
Bud in Red
Deliberate, not decorative
Red reads as a decision. It works when it is the only strong colour in the frame and everything around it stays quiet, which is the difference between a focal point and a fight.
Bud in Pink
Softer, and more sure of itself than it sounds
Pink takes the hard edge off a desk full of black rectangles. Against pale wood and white walls it reads warm and composed rather than loud.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
How does it get power, and is the cable included?
It runs straight off USB into any port, with the cable included in the box. You can plug it into a wall adapter, a monitor's USB port, or a power strip already at the desk; there is no proprietary brick to track down.
How big is it and will it fit a crowded desk?
It measures 3.54 x 11.81 in (9 x 30 cm), a slim silhouette sized to slip onto a credenza, a monitor shelf, or the corner of a working desk. The small base means it holds its spot without taking over the surface.
What is it made of, and how durable is the finish?
The body is solid iron, with the dome and sphere balanced on a slim iron stem, so the small form stays planted rather than feeling flimsy. The color is hand-painted enamel for a true, even coat across all options, not a thin printed surface.
How many colors are there?
Nine: Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Gray, Green, White, Blue, and Black. Each is the same hand-painted enameled iron, so the choice is purely which color suits your space.
How bright is the light?
It uses a 6 W LED, which suits ambient and accent light for a desk corner or shelf rather than heavy task lighting. The description does not list a lumen figure or any dimming, so treat it as a fixed, gentle desk light.
Can I dim it or change the color temperature?
The description lists a 6 W LED powered over USB but does not mention any dimming or color-temperature control. Plan on it being a simple on-with-power light rather than an adjustable one.
What ships in the box?
The lamp and its USB cable arrive padded in a protective box measuring 13.6 x 9.4 x 9.4 in (34.5 x 24 x 24 cm). It is ready to use out of the box; set it down, plug in the cable, and it is working with no assembly.
