Refresh your desk in style

Create a modern look with a dark theme – here with a NÄVLINGE work lamp together with the desk and accessories – that heightens and refines the natural palette of the curtains and the cork pad.

Mood lighting to go

Bright lighting has a host of benefits, but focused work also needs to be balanced by more relaxing moments. Luckily, there’s the convenience, flexibility and sheer pizzazz of a NÖDMAST portable lamp – chargeable, cordless and glowing with delight wherever you take it.

Invite the outside light

If you can, maximise your intake of natural daylight. There really is no substitute. If you already work by a window, great. If there’s room for plants as well, all the better. Just be sure have a proper work lamp for the less bright hours.

Keep it clean

Minimising distractions is a good idea for desk work. Here, a few select items on the desk contribute to a calm expression, helped by elegant curtains in combination with the stylish lines of a LÖVMÅNAD work lamp.

Traditional lines, modern function

Create an inviting mood by combining classic elements – like dark wood and this robust, retro-flirting FORSÅ lamp – with lighting and other functionality that are completely up to date.

Small desk spaces matter, too

When you’re little, it’s a special feeling to have a place for drawing and play all to yourself. Make proper lighting part of the plan, especially if the desk is in a less bright spot, like an alcove or under a loft bed.
