Wick portable table lamp, black

The Wick table lamp by Graypants features a charming, traditional shape combined with contemporary functionality – Wick could be described as something between a candle and a flashlight. Equipped with a handle, the portable table lamp is reminiscent of antique chambersticks that used to be common before electric lights came along. Instead of a flame, however, Wick illuminates its surroundings with a dimmable LED light source.

The combination of classic style and modern-day practicality makes Wick immensely versatile: it is just as at home as a bright reading light on a bedside table as it is on the dining table or windowsill, set on the lowest lighting mode to create a warm, inviting ambience. The Wick luminaire is USB rechargeable and its light intensity can be easily adjusted by pressing the ring below the light source. Depending on the intensity of the light, the operating time of the Wick table lamp is either 12, 32 or even 150 hours.

Graypants is a Seattle-based design brand known for its responsibly and sustainably manufactured luminaires inspired by organic forms of nature. Graypants founders Seth Grizzle and Jonathan Junker both worked as architects when in 2007 they got the idea to collaborate and focus on product design and art installations. Founded in Seattle, Graypants first manufactured pendant lights made from recycled cardboard, which quickly became a hit with both private customers as well as restaurants and offices. Since 2012, Graypants has also had an office in Amsterdam, and over the years the company portfolio has expanded to include furniture, packaging design and architecture. In addition to using responsible materials and sustainable production methods, Graypants has partnered with social works programmes to provide craft-based work for those in need.
