Inspiration can be powerful ocean waves, bright sun, majestic mountains, or things that are always around us, such as grass or a drop of water. Maybe it was a sunny morning after a brief shower that inspired the American designer Victor Vetterlein to design a desk lamp.

At first glance, this lamp is like five pencils or sticks stuck in the stand. However, this composition is not an ordinary one. It has other possibilities.

This lamp, named FRESH LED desk lamp really looks like thin, tall grass that bends under the weight drops. (more…)
