Built for the late hours
A small sculptural lamp made for the time after the overhead lights go off, sitting quietly on a writing desk or a reading-nook side table.
Easier on tired eyes

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
How do I control the brightness and the color of the light?
It uses a touch switch, so you tap to operate it. The light offers three-tone variable color plus stepless dimming, meaning you can dial brightness anywhere along the range rather than jumping between fixed levels.
Does it plug into the wall or run on USB?
It runs on 5 V over a USB charging cable, which is included in the box. Because it charges over USB, it lives untethered on a desk, a bedside table, or a sideboard rather than being tied to a wall outlet.
Is this bright enough to actually work or read by, or is it more for ambiance?
It is built for the hours after the overhead lights go off, and it runs a soft, low blue light spectrum that is easier on tired eyes through a long evening at the desk. It reads as a small sculptural accent first, so it is suited to evening and ambient use rather than as your only task light.
Why blue light, isn't that the kind you're supposed to avoid at night?
The lamp uses a soft, low blue light spectrum, which the description frames as gentler on tired eyes than the high-energy glow most screens throw off. It is positioned as a calmer light source for late evenings at the desk rather than a harsh screen-like glow.
What is it made of and how big is it?
It has a metal base with decorative floral detailing, finished in glossy lacquered metal, with a domed shade over a stacked-bead stem and a rounded base. The description does not list exact dimensions, but it is described as a small sculptural lamp meant to sit on a desk or side table.
Will it fit on a small side table or writing desk?
It is designed to live quietly on a writing desk or a reading-nook side table, so it is sized as a compact tableside piece rather than a large floor or task lamp. The small sculptural form is meant to read as an object that happens to give light.
Can I move it between rooms?
Yes. Since it charges over USB and runs untethered, you can move it between a desk, a bedside table, or a sideboard without hunting for an outlet. The included cable is only needed when it is time to recharge.
