Lumenorth Helix Spring Glass Table Lamp

Helix is the spiral it is named for: a coiled metal spring rising from the base to hold a soft white glass globe. Light passes through the coil and casts a rhythm of its own onto the surface below, so the lamp draws a pattern as well as lighting a corner.

A USB port is built into the base, which means a bedside table or a desk gains a charging point without an adapter occupying a wall socket. It is a small practical detail on a lamp that could easily have settled for being decorative, and it is the sort of thing you stop noticing precisely because it removes a daily annoyance. The glass globe diffuses the bulb completely, so there is no visible filament and nothing harsh at eye level when you are lying down in bed or sitting close to it at a desk for hours.

Helix reduces itself to two elements, a sphere and a spiral, in the Bauhaus tradition of letting geometry do the decorating. That restraint lets it sit in a modern room or a much older one without arguing with anything else on the shelf, and it makes an easy gift for someone whose taste you only half know.
