People find the [bendable neck of desk lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp) ideal for establishing the optimal direction of illumination. The EDI Desk Lamp is certainly flexible, but not in the same sense. The object comprises a collection of rather rigid components that are very open to adjustment.

The base of Tommaso Bistacchi's table light is a [wooden block](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp), available in either ash or walnut. This has been incised with [nine holes for pens or pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engrid-desk-lamp), a pair of slots for business cards or envelopes and two slits in the side where you insert the arm of the EDI Desk Lamp.

A colored strip of metal, bent in the middle, is embedded with a lightbulb on one end. This can be slipped into the block in one of four ways to help you angle bright beams according to preference.
