The next total solar eclipse will be visible to central and north-eastern America in April 2024. Or it could appear in your living room every day with the Orrery Lamp. Designed to be an elegant representation of the choreography between the sun, moon, and our home planet, the earth, the Orrery Lamp is literally out of this world!

The lamp showcases the sun like never before in a beautiful warm glowing orb of hand-blown glass. Around it, suspended on a machined brass poles are wooden orbs, the size of the earth and the moon (with respect to the sun). The lamp itself comes with a dimmer switch, allowing you to set your mood, while the earth and moon can be placed anywhere around the orbit of the sun, creating either what would be the position of the cosmic bodies with respect to the time of the day, or even creating scenarios like solar and lunar eclipses (without having to wear those spectacles!)

Orrery’s sheer beauty lies in the fact that it doesn’t portray itself as a scientific lighting device/installation, but rather as the most elegant lamp in your home that takes inspiration from astronomical events. The sun itself comes in hand-blown glass, while the planets/satellites are lathe-spun out of walnut wood and then mounted on a machined brass fixture that’s available in a classic polished brass or a midnight blue finish. You’ll even find that the model of the earth is tilted at the 23.5° angle, lending not only accuracy to the lamp’s design, but also giving it a unique detail that breaks the flow of expectation of the design in an eye-catching way. Orrery comes in two sizes, a tabletop variant for adorning on coffee-tables, study-tables and mantelpieces, while the taller standing lamp variant proves to be perfect for study rooms, or even living rooms, acting as an installation and an interactive element while even being a rather wonderful conversations starter, because the Orrery lamp is the most captivating lamp you’ll ever own!
