Hatman Rechargeable Desk Lamp

The Hatman LED Desk Lamp from Delva Home is a lamp shaped like a figure in a wide-brimmed hat, a slim standing silhouette at 35 cm tall and only 5 cm wide, with the light glowing out from beneath the brim. It is closer to a small sculpture than a task lamp, and it reads as an object on a shelf even when it is switched off.

A touch sensor on the body handles brightness: a gentle tap steps the light up or down, with no switch or dial breaking the outline. The 1800 mAh lithium battery means it runs cordless, so it can move from a desk to a bedside to a windowsill without a socket, and recharges when it needs to.

The light itself is soft rather than bright, better suited to late reading, a hallway table or ambient light in a living room than to detailed work. At this size and weight it makes an easy gift for a birthday or a housewarming, particularly for someone who likes design objects. Wipe it clean with a dry cloth and charge it fully before first use.
