Bethany is a wall uplighter specifically designed to aid the user with the waking/sleeping process, achieved by encouraging light reading.
To do this, Bethany doubles as a book-holder, and features both a regular on/off switch, as well as 2 special functions: ‘Morning’ and ‘Night’ – softly brightening/dimming for 20 minutes.
The unique holder shape was inspired by the way book-lovers ‘hug’ their books to their chest.
Concealed LED lighting is used for longevity, environmentally-friendliness and cost, but also prevents damage to the books.
Made of polycarbonate and available in a range of colours, Bethany is intended for the domestic market.
