# Two-Legged Lamps This 'Walking Lamp' Has a Pair of Legs That Make It Look Like It's Out for a Walk By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-03-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walking-lamp References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/rising-lamp-shade-two-walking-legs-base-03-18-2014/) & [d-rising](http://d-rising.com/product) South Korean design studio 'Rising' has designed 'Lamp Identity,' a walking lamp with a pair of legs that protrude out of its base, making it look like a lamp brought to life in some sort of children's cartoon. The lamp doesn't actually walk, but looks like it could if it wanted to. The walking lamp consists of a [white lamp shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leda) which is connected to two tiny rods that look like legs. The rods can be set up in such a way that the lamp literally looks like it's 'standing' up. They can also be manipulated to make it look like the lamp is in the middle of a walking stride. When [placed on a desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp) in this position, it looks like the lamp is pausing in the middle of a journey.
