Reading Lamp Offset is a lamp designed to fit over the back of a couch or table to provide focused light for reading from out the bottom of the shade and diffuse light for ambiance out the top. Close attention was paid to details such as the cord's path from the fixture down the armature and away from lamp.  There is a thin channel cut the length of the arm and stand for the cord to hide in, still visible, but purposefully out of the way.  Also, the stand and base are joined in an unexpected way, offset to align the shade and cross of the base.  To provide more light for the room, the arm pivots 90 degrees to a vertical position. The prototype is made from walnut and sandblasted acrylic with steel hardware.
