Designed through a collaboration between Commune and Atelier de Troupe, the V-Lamp shines perforated light through its modern [cone-shaped shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide), casting [interesting shadows below](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp). The V-Lamp is both a desk lamp as well as a wall light fixture, able to be mounted by its [metal stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp) onto a wall so as to hang the light. This gives the user the freedom to choose where they would like to have their light shining from and how to decorate their own space.

The cone-shaped lamp shines light directly, while also filtering some light outside of the area. It is also adjustable so that the user can direct light to wherever it's most needed. The powder-coated metal comes in brass and white and will give any room a focal point.
