The new Egle table lamp can multitask:the diffuser rotates 300 degrees,and the stem rotates vertically and horizontally.The base,which is slightly concave,doubles as a reflector and a jewelry tray.The 10-watt LED bulb,which throws out a circle of light some two feet in diameter,provides both direct light and—if you aim the diffuser so the light reflects off the base—an ambient glow.
"I tried to make this as simple and as understandable as possible,"said Michel Boucquillon,the Belgian architect who designed the Egle for Artemide.
The lamp,which is 21¼inches high,comes in white or black(regularly$720,but about$570 through Nov.30)and chrome(regularly$870,but about$700 through Nov.30).Information:(212)925-1588 or artemide.us.
