Crane Lamp

The Crane Lamp—a playful, movable light by London-based design studio Animaro—is now available on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/animaro/crane-the-kinetic-lamp The lamp changes dramatically in height and shape, with a form inspired by the shape of a Crane bird extending its neck to catch prey. In our age of digital interfaces and hidden technology, the Crane Lamp celebrates mechanics and invites users to enjoy the simplicity of touch and motion. The lamp is available in two sizes, one to sit on the floor and another to light up a desk. The scissor structure of the floor version is composed of 26 hardwood parts, which enable the lamp to expand and contract. Its weight is perfectly counterbalanced by the strength of the spring, ensuring that lamp will hold its shape at any height. Raising the lamp is easy, it's just a case of pushing or pulling any part of the structure and the lamp will glide into its new position.
