Truncheon is a series of lamps designed by Commonwealth (Zoe Coombes and David Boira) for MatterMade consisting of a suspended tube light, an articulated task lamp and a freestanding tube that rests against a wall.
Avoiding unnecessary knobs or switches, the Truncheon adheres to its namesake, a simple compact stick form fashioned out of traditional materials and shaped by advanced digital technology. Resisting the demand to convert to compact fluorescent bulbs, the designers opted for energy-saving LED bulbs.

This lamp design reminds me of a hotdog or a really long loaf of bread. Nevertheless it attracts interest.

Really cool post, I really like the design of this lamp. LED lighting really is taking off by storm and soon other lighting will become a thing of the past. While I admit I work for Sharp, honestly I must say that the innovation and quality in our super bright LED readily surpasses everyone else, truly amazing.
