Structural Task Light Table Lamp from Shades of Light is a play on the classic task lamp. The concrete base and wrought iron frame look industrial and sleek.

The Theorem Aged Brass Desk Lamp from Crate and Barrel is special because it has adjustable height. The brass matches lots of different styles, and the rectangular shape gives it an old-school look.

Arteriors Watson Desk Lamp from Layla Grayce has an antique look with a modern flare. The brass shade and marble base contrast nicely. This task lamp is really a unique look with the cord also wrapped around the neck.

The Landau Lamp from Schoolhouse Electric is sophisticated and simple. The gold adds a chic look that would compliment your work space.

The Lightbearer Table Lamp from Anthropologie would add a unique design element to your dresser or desk. The funky shape would stand out in your space, and be a neat way to light up the room.

The Cardiff Table Lamp in antique brass from Williams-Sonoma would look great in your work space. The globe light fixture has a mid-century modern flare, but is also a timeless design.

The legs on Gold-Dipped Task Lamp, from Anthropologie, add a unique touch to this lamp. Simple and sleek is always the way to go with a desk lamp.







marble base table lamp


Clint Desk Lamp in Antique Bronze/Marble from West Elm is the perfect mid-century modern look. Love the marble base, it is so sophisticated.












Every office is full of pesky cords that clutter your space. Modern Lantern's Otto Cordless Task Lamp is a solution for getting rid of one of those cords. With the Otto Task Lamp, you can move it any place on your desk (or your make shift office outside!) without worrying about an output to plug it in. Perfect for those floating desks!

 

Thanks for listening, and hope you found some inspiration!
