Light socket: Lamp plugs in to modern needs

The Plug Lamp eliminates the need for multiple plug sockets and enables users to charge their phone or laptop from a convenient base such as a bedside table or hotel lobby.

‘Form Us With Love came up with a simple idea based on the constant need in today’s society to recharge computers and smartphones,’ says Thomas Holm, marketing director of Ateljé Lyktan. ‘Besides giving you an electrical socket, the Plug Lamp also adds a pleasant aesthetic to the recharging process.’

LS:N Global previously explored how a playful aesthetic is informing the design of tools used for both work and leisure in our Fun and Functionality Macro Inspire.
