Pagoda
Pagoda is a desk lamp designed without an external switch. The lamp has a pagoda-shaped shell that holds the light source inside. The control is integrated into the shape. Users place a hand on the top and rotate the form clockwise to turn the light on and to raise the brightness. Rotating counterclockwise lowers the brightness and turns the light off. The shell is made of teak wood, which is dried for stability and wear resistance. Wood conducts heat slowly, so the surface feels warm. The lamp measures 10 by 10 by 20 centimeters.
