Phone-Charging Ceiling Lamps

The ARI's Pluglight is Ideal for Any Home Office

— November 7, 2017 — Art & Design
Combining functionality with a sleek and minimalist design, the ARI's "pluglight" offers homeowners a ceiling-hung alternative to the traditional desk lamp.

Made from a clear acrylic block, this light source offers ideal surface illumination, while boasting a sparkling base. Hung from the ceiling, the light frees up valuable desk space, while providing the same function as other household lamps. In addition to its unobtrusive design, the ARI's pluglight is defined by its multifunctional abilities, serving as a charging port that's compatible with nearly any device imaginable.

Offering the perfect design for any informal work space, the ARI's pluglight presents an individual with a convenient place to charge their phone, while functioning as a minimal light source.
