Knobby Desk Lights

The Looker Lamp by Santiago Sevillano Sebastia is Manually Adjustable

— February 7, 2013 — Art & Design
The Looker Lamp might be a little knobby for some people's tastes, but its aesthetic balances beautifully between form and function to give people the best of both worlds. Embracing the presence of so many knobs in order to allow people to perform manual adjustments at whim, the Looker Lamp has a somewhat industrial appeal that is nevertheless countered by the choice of materials used.

Designed by Santiago Sevillano Sebastia for lighting manufacturer Mantra, the Looker Lamp has a Scandinavian appeal thanks to its wood and white metal models. Whether or not accented with pop of color (pistachio or strawberry), the Looker Lamp will catch people's eyes immediately. It is perfect for home offices, children's rooms and creative studios. People will especially appreciate how customizable and versatile the Looker Lamp is.
