The Pull Lamp is a deceptively simple light fixture. Although it embraces the Scandinavian pension for [minimalist and modern design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-lighting-design), there is a subtly quirky feature about the Pull Lamp that will attract people immediately. The lampshade appearing to dangle dangerously from the tip of the stand is [adjustable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp). The cord that it is attached to can be loosened or tighten depending on the needs of the owner.

Designed by Whatswhat, a Stockholm based studio consisting of John Astbury, Bengt Brummer and Karin Wallenbeck, for Muuto, the Pull Lamp may have a simplistic silhouette, but it also has an organic touch that breathes a bit of life into it. It is made using ash wood, [textile cord](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hat-collection) and textile-covered plastic shade.
