Bedside Light Concept

Royal College of Art 2002-10 to 2003-06

A bedside reading light with an inbuilt night-lamp, for when you need to get up without waking up.

Eyes open to silent blackness; it’s too early get up – you just want to dream.  But you need to drink, pee, take your pills, and let the cat in.  Once you’ve flicked on that blinding light, how will you ever get back to sleep?

Navigating at night without breaking out of our sleep cycle is something many of us struggle with. This elegant bedside lamp provides a normal reading light for bedtime, along with an intuitively operated night-lamp to gently show you the way at night. Automatically illuminated when moved, the UV night-lamp can either be directed where required to generate fluorescence in surrounding surfaces, or nested into the translucent base to provide a comforting moonlight glow.
