Light Up Your Life—and Desk—With This Sun-Shaped Mood Lamp and Gemstone Planet Set

Does your office or bedroom feel drab and uninspiring? Try bringing some light into your life with these Sun-shaped mood lamps from DeskSpace.

The handcrafted lamps are made of a yellow gemstone called golden calcite, and the natural texture of the stone gives it the illusion of being on fire—especially when it's illuminated. Each lamp is individually made, so the end product will be unique for each customer.

DeskSpace describes the lamp's illumination as a “soft glow” and says it’s ideal for creating an ambient atmosphere in a lounge area, bedroom, or office. It’s also “perfect as a subtle night light for the bedside table or to capture the beauty of your desk accessories or a row of books on your shelf,” DeskSpace writes on its Kickstarter page, where the solar mood lamp is selling for $99 to $159, depending on which of the three sizes you choose. Each lamp comes with a cleaning cloth, an illustrated booklet filled with interesting facts about the Sun and solar system, and a magnetic charging cable that can be plugged into a laptop.

If you want to keep your workspace completely cord- and clutter-free, there’s also a “classic” version that doesn’t light up. Some of the packages that are available for pre-order also come with a decorative planetary system set, featuring a row of colorful gemstone planets.

To order from DeskSpace, check out the company’s Kickstarter page. Orders are scheduled for delivery in May.
