Table Lamp Nox White

The NOX desk lamp sets a cone shade on a slender arm over a base steady enough for a desk, a dresser or a nightstand. The switch is built into the housing, which is where you want it on a lamp that gets used every day.

The arm lets the light be put exactly where the work is. For reading or study that matters more than brightness — a beam on the page rather than a glow over the whole desk.

The finishes are matte throughout and the range runs wide, so the lamp can be matched to the room or to the desk, whichever is doing more of the deciding.
