We don’t often think of lighting as life-changing, but the Vipp Desk lamp may have you rethinking that perspective. Suitable for the office or home, it features a sleek minimalist design, powder-coated aluminum and steel finish, and fabric-covered cord. Even the shade’s perforations — 1,539 to be exact —  have been carefully calibrated to create an exquisite diffusion of light.

Vipp made a name for itself with its iconic trash cans, but its lighting collection more than lives up to the celebrated Danish brand’s reputation for producing functional products for modern living. While this adjustable work lamp doesn’t come cheap, it more than makes up for its steep price tag in staying power. If your workspace needs a lift, there’s no better way to level up than with lighting. Enter the extraordinary Vipp Desk Lamp.
