About Seaview Lamp

Seaview is a desk lamp designed for reading, study and work at home. The lamp has no external switch. Two bulbs are shaped like the sun and the moon, and the controls are built into these bulbs. Users place a hand on a bulb and push it clockwise to turn on the light and to raise the brightness. Pushing counterclockwise lowers the brightness and turns the light off.

A unique and affordable lamp has great market value. Desk lamp basically is Illumination action, facilitate reading, study, work. As the ceaseless development of desk lamp appearance, modelling, desk lamp has far exceeded the value of desk lamp itself, the desk lamp has become an artwork.
Inspiration: Like the name, we were inspired by the seaside scenery. Every morning and night, the sun and moon rise above the sea. We think it's a good feeling for lamps because it's beautiful. I realized that the sun and moon are a circle when I enjoy the sunlight and moonlight at the seaside. At the same time the adjustment switch of most desk lamps is also round. So we combined the switch with the sun and moon to create this design.
