MultiPot Table Lamp and Charger

Say what?

"It's like a glorified power strip that gets rid of the clutter," YLighting's Dave Feldman told Marco R. della Cava in a USA Today story. "And the lid is rubberized, so you can toss your keys on top and not worry about scratching it."

MultiPot Table Lamp and Charger

Designed by Dante Donegani and Giovanni Lauda in 2005.

MultiPot belongs to a new generation of lighting objects and is the first of Rotaliana's products to combine lighting with other functions.

This hybrid multifunctional lamp combines an LED ambient night light with multiple sockets, along with a space to keep cables neatly stored.

MultiPot provides new comfort levels, both in the home and the the office, by catering to both old and new requirements: our habit of emptying keys and other personal items from pockets into containers and new requirements to manage our increased use of rechargeable multimedia equipment, home computers and the transformation of televisions into home theatres.

With its familar looks, lighting function and translucent finish (to filter the light while masking the electrical cables), the MultiPot is a picture of elegant functionality.
