Looks like it would come in handy for icy regions and for the gas station/car wash. How about a window+windshield scraper/cleaner?

It's an interesting abstraction that in the designed piece, the "beak" becomes the source of light, as opposed to the source of shadow. The function of a lamp is to create light. To do so with a form that initially blocks light and creates a shadow, is a fitting design concept.

Perhaps the cord is underneath and disappears through a hole in the desk? I worry some functionality is lost in not being to adjust it but these curves, these perfect curves beg for expansion into additional pieces. The wood is certainly the most compelling.

I also wonder how stable it is - it appears to be a desk lamp and so will inevitably be close to activity... Beautiful visually – good point about the cable and flex though.
