Pencil-Thin Desk Lamps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Piccolo LED Task Light Boasts a Slim and Simple Silhouette

— November 27, 2012 — Art & Design
People who have taken extreme care to curate a minimalistic desk space should not have to ruin it with a clunky outdated lamp; the Piccolo LED Task Light is the perfect alternative. As thin as a number two pencil, it might not take up a lot of room, but it does shed a lot of light.

Designed by Chicago-based Mike Garner, the Piccolo LED Task Light’s slender silhouette was achieved with the use of anodized aluminum. Bent once to form two straight lines, it is less than half an inch in diameter. Although the overall aesthetic is very simple, it is available with various bases for different tastes including etched glass, carrara marble and black anodized bases.
