Bright heads: these lamps can do more

Certain lights are so beautiful that they not only illuminate the room, but also combine several functions in one and the same design.
I expect exactly two things from luminaires: Firstly, that they provide light and secondly, that they are eye-catching - even during the day. To my surprise, there are now designs that exceed my expectations because they have other characteristics that I normally attribute to other home accessories. For example, there are wall lights such as those from Markslöjd, which also function as a key cabinet, storage space and USB charging station.
Even if I'm not the owner of a tiny house, I think all the designs that save me another piece of furniture are great. I can furnish my rooms in a clear and purist way. I'll show you which ones here.
Shelves or racks
Despite the fact that these lights cannot yet be controlled via an app, I would describe them as smart. They are slim thanks to LEDs, can be installed in a space-saving way and spread atmospheric, indirect light thanks to the dimmer. They offer either shelf space or even storage space and some are equipped with an opening for a USB port. This saves you unsightly tangled cables and gives you one and the same place to charge your mobile.
Reading lamps
In the bedroom, you want both a lamp that creates atmosphere and one that sufficiently illuminates your reading. As this is often difficult to find in one model, these variants have been designed. They combine movable and fixed light sources. So you can direct one towards your book and use the other when you're doing other things.
Plant pots
These pendant and table lamps with bowls for plants or dried flowers are probably the most unusual. The obvious choice, because what better way to put your decoration centre stage than with a targeted spotlight? 😉
