While it may look like some sort of [minimalist art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light), Benjamin Hubert's latest creation is actually a lamp.

The Crane Task Lamp by Benjamin Hubert is a long, slender, tube-shaped LED light. The design is inspired by "[industrial engineered metal structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light) and equipment," according to Mocoloco, which explains the decision to use [aluminum casing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nord) for a more mechanized look. The thin stand holds the light together with a screw, which can be moved around for adjustment.
