I love a beautifully-designed lighting design because I truly believe a really great one has the ability to illuminate a space – both literally, and metaphorically. Besides the physical light that it quite obviously emits, a well-designed lighting design can add manifolds of personality and charisma to a room or space. They can function as sculptural pieces, that are an extension of your personal taste and preference, truly exhibiting the richness and niche-ness of your curation capabilities, or if they’re the portable kind you can carry them along with you to illuminate anything anytime anywhere. And, an excellent lighting design for your desk is the Stair Table Lamp.

Designer: Notchi Architects for Oblure

Designed by Notchi Architects for Oblure, the Stair Table Lamp is inspired by a playful and whimsical approach to geometry and gravity. The lamp brings to mind the image of a sphere balanced delicately on the edge of a staircase. It features a solid stepped base with a spherical light fixed on top, which creates curiosity and awakens the child within us.

“The balance between playfulness and seriousness is reflected in the design and brings to mind old-fashioned building blocks that the designers used to play with as children,” said Oblure. The Stair can also function as a bookend when placed on a desk, bedside table, or in a children’s playroom. It is an adorable yet functional product that can be slipped into the various nooks and crannies of your home, illuminating them while also keeping your books in check.

The unique table lamp also includes two USB-C ports integrated into the base, so you can use it to charge phones or other gadgets. It is available in a choice of four colors – including beige, black, red, or yellow, so you can pick the one that suits your desk and vibe! It’s an innovative desk accessory with multiple functionalities that won’t occupy much space on your desk either. Having the right accessories on your desk is quite integral as they will not only improve your work routine and productivity but also help you maintain a clearer and more streamlined mindset, and the Stair Table Lamp is one such design.
