Know before you buy
The lamp features a unique lift-to-reveal design. When the cylindrical top is lifted, it exposes the glossy white interior, which reflects the light to create a brighter, more ambient glow compared to when the lamp is closed.
The Mutatio lamp uses an integrated LED module, which is designed for longevity and efficiency. Because the module is built into the fixture, it is not intended to be replaced by the user.
It provides ambient lighting, making it ideal for accent lighting on a desk, bedside table, or bookshelf. The light quality changes depending on whether the lamp is in its closed or open position.
The lamp is operated by a discreet on/off switch located on the power cord, keeping the minimalist silhouette of the lamp base clean and uninterrupted.
The lamp stands 11.79 inches tall and has a compact width of 3.14 inches, making it a slim, space-saving choice for smaller surfaces.
The lamp features a matte black metal exterior. While it offers a sophisticated, modern look, like most matte finishes, it may show fingerprints with frequent handling, so it is best to wipe it down occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.
