Coil Lamp Desk Light

Coil Lamp Desk Light is an innovative lighting fixture that exemplifies creative repurposing and sustainable design principles through its ingenious integration of technology and craftsmanship. Developed in 2013, this sophisticated desk lamp features a distinctive construction comprising a single piece of machined aluminum head, a copper base, and a custom-designed spring mechanism. The lamp's head, precision-milled from 6061 aluminum rod with a 1.5-inch diameter, incorporates a specialized channel housing LED strips that emit warm, directional illumination, partially diffused through an integrated acrylic lens. The design's notable feature is its power source adaptation, utilizing a magnetic charging adapter technology, demonstrating an innovative approach to electronic waste reduction and component reuse. The lamp's architectural composition is enhanced by its sophisticated articulation system, featuring Acme threads that enable the head to screw into a custom-designed torsion-style spring mounted atop the copper base. With dimensions of 195mm width, 330mm depth, and 340mm height, the lamp maintains an elegant proportion while offering practical functionality. The design earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, acknowledging its contribution to innovative lighting solutions and sustainable design practices. This achievement highlighted the lamp's excellence in combining aesthetic appeal with functional innovation, as evaluated by the award's comprehensive criteria including innovation, functionality, and environmental integration. The design represents a significant advancement in task lighting, demonstrating how creative engineering and thoughtful material selection can transform everyday objects into sophisticated design solutions.
