Images Lamp

This is a picture lamp: a lighting piece built to carry images that stay quiet by day and resolve into pictures once the light behind them comes up. Unlit it reads as a plain panelled form on a shelf; switched on, the tonal detail appears and the object stops being a lamp and starts being a display. That makes it a very personal thing to print. The form belongs to a category people use for photographs, artwork and keepsakes, which is why picture lamps turn up so often as gifts, memorials and the lamp on a bedside table that nobody else in the house is allowed to move. Across seven files it is a proper project rather than a quick shelf ornament, and it suits anyone who wants a light that carries something specific to them.
