The “Leaf” is a LED table top lamp of unsurpassed aesthetic quality. The Leaf’s designer, Yves Behar, describes his lighting design for Herman Miller, Inc., as a “fusion of technology with humanity.”

The lower blade swivels 180 degrees, while the upper blade can be adjusted downward toward the base or upward to illuminate a wall or area. Heat is released from the LED lamps via a heat sink and stamp formed holes in the upper blade without an electric fan.

The Leaf’s circuit board allows for control of both the lamp’s intensity and its color temperature, and it remembers your last settings. Sustainability, eco friendly materials and recyclability are emphasized in the lamp’s design and manufacture. The lamp’s LEDs consume 8 or 9 watts of power; is designed for a 100,000 hour lifespan and can cut energy consumption by 40% compared to compact fluorescent lights.
