The Caret Table Lamp draws from one of the most enduring desk lamp forms ever made — the banker's lamp, with its pyramid shade and weighted base that has been sitting on library and study desks for over a century. The Caret brings that silhouette into lacquered steel and gives it a USB charging port and three color temperatures. The form works. It always has.
Compact at 15 cm across and 22 cm tall, it sits where space is limited without compromising what it delivers — a focused, directional light that's useful for reading or work, and a desk object worth keeping visible when it's off.

No cord. Charges via USB. Works indoors or out. Touch the base to power on — cycle through three color temperatures with each tap.
Why Caret
🏛Banker's Lamp Heritage The pyramid shade directing light downward onto a work surface is one of the few lamp forms that solved a real problem and never needed redesigning. The Caret respects that — the silhouette is familiar, the proportions are right, and the lacquered steel finish brings it into the present without changing what made it work.
🔩Lacquered Steel Body The metal construction gives Caret a weight and surface quality that reads as intentional rather than decorative. It stays where you put it, looks considered up close, and doesn't show age the way plastic does.
👆Touch Switch One tap at the base cycles through three color temperatures. No physical switch to disrupt the clean profile — the entire lamp is a single resolved form that interacts with one gesture.
🌿Desk or Beyond Compact enough for a narrow work surface, refined enough for a bedside table or a shelf. The cordless design means it goes wherever it's useful without committing to a location permanently.
