How can a single lamp adapt to different ways of use?

Spool is a portable clamp lamp shaped by the way it is used. Developed from the idea of replacing multiple specialized lamps with a single adaptable object, its form integrates cable storage, light control and multiple mounting options into one design.

 

Designed to be placed, stacked, clamped and repositioned, the lamp can provide both direct and indirect lighting depending on its orientation. The cable wraps around the body like thread on a spool, becoming part of the object’s identity.
