# Portable Table Lamps The Grab & Glow Side Table Lamp Integrates Lighting into a Simple Side Table By Amy Duong | Published 2026-02-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-glow References: [behance.net](http://behance.net/boredeye)  The Grab & Glow [side table lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gambosa-lamp) is a furniture concept that combines a side table and a light into a single object that can be moved easily around a living space. Designed by Liam de la Bedoyere, the piece uses its legs to pass through the tabletop and continue upward to form a handle. This handle is where the [light source is concealed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20) and becomes visible when a small bolt at the edge is loosened, and the handle is rotated to activate the lamp. The tabletop is a powder-coated metal disc with a slight lip that prevents books or glasses from sliding when the piece is carried. Integrated cable management routes the power cord down one leg, held with discreet clips, and a cut-out on the tabletop rim allows a plug or charging cable to pass through without being pinched. The [compact footprint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swivel) makes the object suitable for tight corners, and the handle and light travel with the tabletop when it is relocated next to seating or a bed.
