Can you please tell me a little bit about this red lamp?
When Yves Behar designed his “Leaf Lamp” in 2006, it was marketed as being eco-friendly l because the materials are recyclable and it uses LED lights. There is a touch wheel that allows you to control the color and intensity of the light. The designer has said, “sustainability and notions of social good are the new values of the twenty-first century, and designers need to integrate them into every project they do.”
