Retro Fans Directly Weld It Onto The Desk! This Green Glass Desk Lamp Brings The American Nostalgia Of The 1990s Into Daily Life <OFY1015>
As a "person with obsessive-compulsive disorder about desktop atmosphere", a while ago, in order to find a desk lamp that "doesn't look the same as others and can still be used", I turned to the bottom of a certain orange software page - either a uniform InS-style white lamp or a cheap "pseudo-retro" plastic lamp. It wasn't until I came across this green glass desk lamp that Without hesitation, I clicked the checkout: this is the 'old movie desk' I wanted 💚
The moment of opening the box: It's a "retro texture" that can be felt, not the "aged imitation" produced on an assembly line.
When I opened the express box, I didn't even want to tear off the packaging film - the "weight" of this lamp can't be deceived
First, touch the lampshade It is not the light plastic, but the solid colored glass (Stained glass). When touched with a fingertip, it gives a cold glass-like sensation, with a slightly aged frosted texture on the surface. It is not the dazzling plastic green, but the retro emerald green like old church glass, with a "time filter", and the texture of the glass can still be faintly seen when held up to the light.
Touch the stand again: The bronze-colored ironwork stand is not cheap paint but has a slightly oxidized "aged" look. The curved arc is just right to hold the lampshade steadily above the table. Even the connecting screws are made to look like the hardware of old objects, without burrs. When you turn it, you can hear a slight, very textured "click" sound.
Finally, let's take a look at the base: Made of resin, it gives a sense of the heaviness of retro metal. The carvings are not "flat patterns" printed on, but three-dimensional relief textures. Placed on the table, it stands firm and even my cat jumped onto the desk to rub against it, and the lamp didn't move at all.
Just the right size: The "atmosphere assassin" for small-sized apartment desktops, it doesn't take up much space and can also be used as a decorative item
My desk is only 80cm wide. I bought a floor-standing retro lamp before, but it took up half of the desk. This lamp is completely "desktop-friendly"
The overall height is 44.2cm, which is just right for my eye level and won't block the computer screen.
The base has a diameter of 16cm, which is not much larger than the mug I usually use. When placed in the corner of the desk, it doesn't even take up the space for the keyboard and books.
The lampshade is 26.5cm wide when unfolded, which can just cover the notebook and the books at hand with the light, unlike a small desk lamp where the light range is only the size of a palm.
I even moved it to the side table in the living room: when paired with a vintage leather sofa, it gives off an American industrial style; when paired with a wooden coffee table, it turns into a "light retro mix-and-match". It's a versatile player who can "change the style wherever you go".
The moment the lights are turned on: The warm glow of old movies transforms staying up late into "atmospheric overtime"
If it is a "retro ornament" when it is off, then the moment the light is turned on, it directly becomes the "atmosphere switch" of my home:
The moment the warm light shone through the green glass, the entire desktop was wrapped in an "old movie filter" - not a pale cold light, but a soft and warm light like the wall lamps in a coffee shop. It was not dazzling when reading paper books, nor was there any reflection when looking at the computer screen. Even for someone like me with dry eyes, I didn't feel my eyes getting sore when working on a plan with it on at night.
I have tried driving it at different times of the day: on a cloudy day at three or four in the afternoon, driving it can fill the dark corners of the desk. With the cloudy day outside the window, it feels like flipping through old books in an old bookstore. In the dead of night at one or two o 'clock in the morning, only this light is on. The warm light wraps around the table, and even the fatigue from working overtime is softened a lot. Last time a friend came to stay up late to finish the report and said, "With this light on, even the coffee tastes better."
The "hidden heartbeats" for detail enthusiasts: Those little surprises not written on the detail page
Copper pull ring: The copper pull ring hung on the stand is not a plastic imitation of copper. It really has a metallic matte feel. When pulled, it makes a "clatter" sound, just like the pull rope of an old electric fan. Every time I pull it, I feel like I'm playing the role of a typist in a retro movie.
The Angle of the lampshade: The stand can be slightly adjusted in Angle. If you want the light to focus on the book, press it down a little. If you want the light to cover the table, lift it up. When not in use, press the lampshade to the lowest position and it will directly become a "retro decorative box" on the table.
Not picky about bulbs: I have changed to warm white and warm yellow bulbs. Warm yellow is more retro, while warm white is more practical. No matter which one it is, when passing through green glass, it won't turn into a "strange color"; instead, it can highlight the texture of the glass.
It is more than just a desk lamp: it is a small joy that brings "nostalgia" into daily life
I used to think that "retro home furnishings" were just "flashy but impractical ornaments", but this lamp has changed my mind - it's not just a decoration left there to be "displayed", but a real daily item that can be used every day: in the morning, I use it to read the morning news; in the evening, I use it to take notes. Occasionally, when I work late into the night and look up at the warm light of this lamp, even the night outside the window becomes a little gentler. Just like those "warm old items" in old movies, it is not an expensive luxury, but a little magic that can turn an "ordinary desktop" into a "private atmosphere area".
This lamp has now become the center of the table that is always displayed when entertaining guests in my home. Even my mom, a "pragmatist", praises it as "both beautiful and practical".
