Armchair reading light – a plain Nordic lamp you dim with a fingertip

A chair and a book are only half a reading spot. This battery lamp supplies the other half, with no cable to hide behind the sofa. A touch sets the brightness.

Reasons to pick this reading lamp

Because it is rechargeable, it can stand on a side table in the middle of the room. The brightness goes up for small type and down when you close the book. Its plain Scandinavian outline works with most interiors.

• Brighter for small print: turn it up for reading, turn it down for the rest of the evening.
• Tap to adjust: no switch to hunt for, just touch the lamp.
• Sits away from the wall: without a cord it works next to a chair in the middle of the room.
• Brass, black or white: finishes that go with wood, stone or painted furniture.

Put it next to an armchair and the chair becomes a reading corner.

The same lamp is just as useful on a desk or a small cafe table. Its clean lines add a modern note without competing with the room. Charge it, then carry it to wherever you plan to spend the evening.
