Polar Desk Lamp by Ross Gardam

The Polar Desk Lamp, designed by Ross Gardam, makes a stylish statement in modern home or office décor with its unique and minimalist design. Its circular motif, crafted from a hand-thrown ceramic base, is both beautiful and functional. The magnetically attached arm allows the disc to rotate around the body, providing optimal control over the direction and strength of the light.

The ceramic surface is beautifully unglazed, in either Polar White or Matt Black – custom colors are available upon request. This desk lamp is an essential piece of functional art in any contemporary interior.
