Desk lamps - focused light with design pedigree
A good desk lamp combines precise light with a shape that looks good when switched off. Our collection of vintage and design desk lamps ranges from brass classics to Italian and Belgian design icons. At TROC Leuven in Herent near Leuven we test every lamp, check the wiring and joints, and mention the bulb type in the listing.
