A branch lamp that works as an object by day and a light at night

The trunk carries a pale bark finish and splits into thin branches holding 144 small lights. Switched off it looks like a piece of driftwood; switched on it throws a low, even glow. It stands 55 cm tall and runs on batteries.

Why choose this branch lamp?

A single bright ceiling fixture flattens a room. A lamp like this does the opposite: it puts a lot of small light points at table height, which gives the space some depth in the evening.

• Bark-look finish: the pale, lightly marked trunk reads as real wood from across the room.
• Branches that hold a shape: bend each one out or in until the silhouette suits the spot.
• 144 light points: spread across the branches for an even, low-level glow.
• No outlet needed: three AA batteries sit in the base, so placement is up to you.
• Stays upright: the base is weighted to balance the branch spread.

Put it where a lamp would not normally fit and it earns the space twice over.

Corners, empty shelves and the far end of a sideboard are the usual spots. Bend the outer branches forward and the light spreads wider; pull them in and it stays tight and vertical. The lights run cool, so nothing needs clearance around them.
