Bird, by industrial designer Bernhard Osann, is essentially a desk lamp with no base. Instead the aluminum lamp has a protruding "finger" that rests on the worksurface; the lamp is perfectly balanced, thanks to brass weights, keeping the lamp's head perfectly level.

"The light stands on one point. Two weights made of solid brass ensure the balance."

"The light can simply be placed on a table edge or similar. When you move it, it oscillates and always returns to the horizontal position."

"The linear LED module is embedded in the profile. This area you can rotate around its own axis, making the lamp versatile providing diffused direct and indirect lighting."

"Contact-free switching and dimming is enabled by a proximity sensor."

Bird is in production by Italy's Nemo Lighting.
