The ingenious Baselamp by Luke Lamp Co. can transform almost any object into a lamp. Anything that allows light to pass through it–a glass bottle, flower vase, fish bowl, etc.–can now easily turn into a functioning light source. Just set the item on the sleek, minimalist base and watch it instantly illuminate the room.
To produce Baselamp, designer Luke Kelly spent over a year and a half focusing on the product's versatility and ease of use. He used an integral chip-on-board LED and a recessed touch-capacitive dimmer switch that'd create a lot of light (410 lumens) but not an excessive amount of heat. This is crucial, because it means that things sitting on the device won't get overheated.
The product, which is manufactured using a CNC machine, is available in a solid walnut or bamboo body. It has a hand-applied linseed oil finish and a solid aluminum heat sink base, creating an aesthetic that's both industrial and natural looking.
Luke Lamp Co. is currently raising funds for production via Kickstarter, so there's still time to be an early owner of your very own Baselamp.
