Design by John Tree, 2023
Taking cues from the classic Banker’s Light, British designer John Tree merged archetypal references with his contemporary, colourful sensibility to create the Apex Desk Clip Lamp. The folded steel shades create a peaked roofline silhouette, providing the inspiration behind the lamp’s name as well as offering a graphic contrast to the chrome-plated bases. Featuring an adjustable clip that enables the lamp to be fixed to a wide variety of horizontal surfaces, both the colourful shade and angled arm can rotate 360 degrees, giving users optimal control to aim the light in any direction. The Apex Desk Clip Lamp offers a functional lighting solution for a multitude of spaces and uses, from a task light on a desk to a reading lamp over a sofa.
