Rima

The Lamella Lamp is a 3D printed light made to order in Copenhagen and available in three sizes.

Do you want to be lit, or do you want to be flattered? The small Rima has opinions about this.

Its light runs warmer than the other two, deliberately. Where the medium and large stay neutral and architectural, the small leans amber — the colour of the last hour before you admit you should probably go to bed.

The ribs push that glow out in narrow horizontal bands, so it lands on the wall in stripes rather than one flat wash. Enough light to read a page. Not enough to answer an email. The distinction is the entire point of the object.

Bedside tables. A shelf. A windowsill. The corner of a desk that stops being a desk after nine in the evening.

The cable setup arrives ready to plug in, bulb included, LED only, and that is genuinely all the assembly there is.

Somewhere between forest floor and spaceship interior, this small ribbed thing sits on your nightstand and quietly insists the evening is going fine. Is that happiness? No. It is a warm light bulb. The gap between the two is narrower than anyone admits.
