Water Ripple Night Light

A shaded lamp with a water pattern worked into the surface, so the light passing through it breaks into soft ripples that move across the nearest wall and ceiling. It is closer to a piece of ambient decoration than a functional light: the point is the pattern it throws, not the amount of light it puts into the room.

A remote handles sixteen colours, so the same lamp can be a warm amber for an evening, a cool blue for a bedroom, or something brighter when a child wants to choose. Being able to change it from across a room, rather than reaching behind furniture for a switch, is more useful than it sounds once the lamp is in place on a shelf.

Two shade finishes are offered: a warm yellow and a clean white, both of which read as neutral objects in daylight. It suits a bedside, a living room corner, a bathroom shelf or a child's room, and it is portable enough to be carried between rooms. It is a lamp rather than a toy, so keep it on a stable surface, supervise young children around it, and keep the remote's battery compartment closed and out of reach.
