There’s something so organically lovely about these lights by Lindsey Adelman Studio. They can even be customized to suit the space it sits in perfectly.

Uniform Wares produces objects and apparel intended for everyday use by individuals with an eye for meticulous design details.
Our products have an intentionally pared down form that is characterised by distinct colour.
The colour of each product helps define its purpose, how it is used, what for and by whom.
The Uniform Wares aesthetic has been tailored with longevity in mind, we believe that a product should have a practical permanence.
Each product is designed at our London office and is available for purchase through this website and a select circle of retailers.”
