Area
No, it’s not a new iMac… This is Area, a table lamp designed by Milano based Habits Studio for Italian lighting manufacturer Luceplan.
The Area is packed with interesting features. It is a LED lamp, which is energy efficient, but which also allows for a beautiful flat design. The large white plexiglass surface disperses the light in a uniform way, but it is also backlit – yep: light from the front and the back.
And there’s more: with a series of aluminium supports you can easily turn the table lamp into a pendant, wall lamp, and even floor lamp.
Oh, and you switch it on and off via a touch sensor in the side of the frame. Sweet… (Thx, Jorge!)

Nice implementation with good flexibility. I’d want a remote trigger for the pendant version tho. Might be annoying to have it swinging backwards and forwards every time you touch it to turn it on (if you can reach it depending on the install location).
