The Bake Me a Cake table lamp offers the perfect way to light up a homey bakery or kitschy kitchen. It has been modeled after a classic cake platter, complete with an oak wood stand and smoked glass dome cover. Overall, it has a vintage vibe that will appeal to amateur and professional bakers alike.
Designed by Morton & Jonas, the Bake Me a Cake table lamp is set to be manufactured by Northern Lighting. Interestingly, it will be inmates in a Norwegian prison near Bergen that assemble the light fixture. A unique collaboration, the lamp is inspired by the cartoon story 'The Cake with the File,' in which a mother hides a file in a cake to help her imprisoned son escape.
