While clamp lamps can come in handy…
…they're ugly and aren't very versatile. French industrial designer Inga Sempé designed a more elegant version.
Her Island lamp, a/k/a the w153 Île, has a clamp integrated into a flat base, so it can sit on a table like an ordinary lamp.
Or it can clamp.
It can even be hung from a wall.
The shade is attached magnetically, and is easy to adjust:
The magnet is strong enough to hold the shade on when the lamp is inverted.
The Island lamp is in production by Swedish lighting brand Wästberg.

Nice, a new version of George Nelson's lamp from 1950. Add a clamp ---
Lovely, cute design. Too bad it doesn't come in cymbal gold. Specification says an atrocious 14 lumens/watt for a COB LED! Thought it was a typo, but data sheet says 110 lumens from 7.5 watts.
