The CONST Desk Lamp is an interactive and creative table light fixture that will have people reminiscing about their childhood in no time. Inspired by classic toy blocks, it is made up of three separate pieces that are put together by the owner themselves. Unlike toy blocks that encourage a limitless array of shapes and sculptures, the CONST Desk Lamp takes on one form, which happens to look like an excavation truck.
Created by Bangkok-based designers Thinkk studio, the CONST Desk Lamp is both playful and practical. The marble base features a stair-like design that accommodates pencils, the octagonal oak body can be easily rotated to provide an optimal angle and the curved shade directs light to specific spots that require illumination. The shade is available in three colors: red, white and yellow.
