A lamp that gives you control

The Vara looks like a headless BB-8 Droid holding a lightsaber. Now that I got that description out of my system, let’s talk more about the minimal beauty that is the Vara Lamp. With its highly geometric design, the Vara lamp may look deceptively simple, but it surely isn’t. The lamp contains a row of LEDs where each individual LED is programmable. The lamp’s own bundled app allows one to set their own patterns, as well as monitor energy consumption. And with its geometric style and black/white color scheme, it’ll pretty much look good in any part of your home!

The Vara Lamp is a winner of the Red Dot Design Concept Award for the year 2017.
