Saif Faisal, an interdisciplinary design studio that's based out of India, is the creator of the 'Alfredo Lamp.'

A modern piece that takes up very little space, the light is a great addition to the [tops of bedside tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light), given the subdued illumination that emits from it. Carved from a block of beach wood, the Alfredo Lamp by Saif Faisal leaves the [natural markings of the material exposed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoop-table-lamp), adding to the contemporary appearance of it which is especially enhanced by its [unconventional shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light).

In addition to making it look more attractive, the structure of the Alfredo Lamp ensures a durable design as well, as the solid beach wood can likely withstand drops and falls better than most other models.
