You could literally dress up your space to your taste with the help of the Chapeau Light. This whimsical [table lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplat) invites you to choose your own diffuser from your very own hat collection.

Designer Philippe Starck came up with this lighthearted concept for the brand Flos, offering great [flexibility and playfulness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-delta-lamp) to the consumer. The piece is manufactured as a [sturdy metal stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light); it features an insulated cruciform top to support a fashionable lampshade and ensures that your stylish accessory will not be damaged by the heat of the downward-facing lightbulbs.

The perfect piece for placement on top of a dresser, the Chapeau Light can be changed on a whim with the help of your wardrobe.
