‘plug lamp’ by form us with love for ateljé lyktan all photos by jonas lindström

swedish design studio form us with love has just sent us new images of their ‘plug lamp’, which we featured this february when they exhibited at stockholm design week 2012 (original coverage here).

addressing today’s digitally connected society and our constant need to recharge our computers, smartphones, tablets, the lighting object features the addition of an electrical socket consolidated within the base of the design.

developed for swedish lighting company ateljé lyktan, the light is concealed within a bulbous form made from opal glass, its foundation molded and powder coated in aluminium. the integrated socket is centrally placed within the base, emphasizing it as an important detail to ‘plug’. having this bonus socket included as part of the lamp eliminates the often bothersome task of having to look for a place to plug in your gadgets or physically having to unplug another device in order to access an electrical point. the ‘plug lamp’ is available in black, green, grey, red and white.
