The TwistTogether Lamp is a combination of [stackable, moving blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stak-modular-lamp) that can also double up as [shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf).

The main power is hidden inside of the blocks and when turned on, the entire unit lights up. This unique design comes in bright colours, perfect for a kid’s bedroom.

However, the TwistTogether is not actually meant to be used for light, although it may be powerful enough to use as a night light since the TwistTogether only provides a [soft, colourful glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-soft-solids).
