#Flat Lamp gives you a minimalist and aesthetic light source

There are times you don’t need an intricately designed light source to illuminate your surroundings or to add a certain flair to your space. Sometimes you just need a well-thought of kind of lamp that is simple and minimalistic but can also meet your functional needs. Designers take their inspiration from a variety of things but this new and unconventional lamp is inspired by a mundane thing: the store sign.

The Flat Light is exactly what its name says. It is housed in a thin, flat rectangular form that uses stainless steel and acrylic materials. The light flows through the edges so you can expect just a subtle glow to add to the atmosphere or to the aesthetic of your space. Since it has a compact shape, it can fit into narrow spaces and can also become a wall-mounted light.

The light comes in two kinds of finishes. The brushed finish has a more fine texture and gives you a semi-matte surface. The polished finish meanwhile has a double purpose since it can also act as a mirror to reflect on your surroundings. It is not wireless though so you still have to place it somewhere that has a nearby power source.

It’s an interesting kind of lamp that acts more like part of your furniture or surroundings rather than a full on light source. It will fit perfectly on your dresser, make-up space, bookshelf, picture shelf, and other places where you may need some small source of light, with a minimalist but fashionable twist.
