Wooden Animal Nursery Table Lamp

A flat animal silhouette cut from frosted acrylic and set into a solid wood base, lit from below so the whole shape glows softly. The wood is left with a visible grain and a natural finish, which keeps it looking like a piece of furniture rather than a plastic gadget, and it sits happily on a nursery shelf or a small bedside table without dominating it.

Four silhouettes are offered. The toucan stands 13 x 19cm, the pelican 17 x 17cm and the whale 20 x 10cm, with the wolf on the same scale, so any of them will fit a narrow shelf. Power comes in over a USB lead into the base, giving a low-voltage connection at the bedside and a warm, steady output with no flicker and no glare from an exposed bulb.

Used as a night light it gives just enough illumination to take the edge off a dark room; used on a desk it makes a quiet reading companion. Dust the acrylic with a dry soft cloth and keep the wood away from damp. This is a lamp, not a toy - keep it out of reach of babies, supervise young children, and tuck the cable away from cots and beds.
