Intended as a bedside light, one half shines on each of the better halves. The archetypal shape of a classic table lamp and its unobtrusive form and colour, almost makes the lamp disappear on the wall. The „shadow“ is mounted to the wall, whereas the lamp’s body is attached to two guide rails. The lights intensity is not to be adjusted electronically, but by the distance between lamp and wall: The further the lamp is pulled away from the wall, the more light is emitting.
The Half A Lamp exudes a soft, atmospheric light, but is also ideal as a reading lamp.
