At first this desk lamp looks like a regular desk lamp. But surprise! It pulls the old telescoping lamp gag and shrinks down to half its original size, and clamps onto the side of your desk like a vise.
The light was created by German designer Dirk Winkel for a Swedish company called Wastberg. He calls it an exploration of materials, using plastic in a way that looks more like wood. We like it because it’s unexpected and just all around tricky. [Dezeen]

It says in the link that “….and comes with either a flat base or a clamp base”. It doesn’t say anything about a telescopic action.
OMG i don’t think i have read much more pretentious waffle than this (from the link
and can i remind them that using the phrase ‘an exploration of materials, using plastic in a way that looks more like wood’ has been used by double glazing salesmen the world over
its all hyped up pretentious bullshit, from some person who considers themselves an artist whilst using cereal bowls some plastic and a the odd fez here and there

Man appeared.
Man felt comfortable and safe around light sources he could control.
Man felt comfortable and safe for 300,000 years.
Man began to over-illuminate rooms and halls.
General lighting was calibrated for the areas that needed the most light.
Far too many areas received far too much light.
Man felt dazzled and irradiated.
Man no longer felt comfortable or safe.
One of the people affected (a Swede) started reasoning to himself.
What would happen if you softened general lighting, and used direct
lighting where needed instead? A more functional, more economic,
more energy efficient, more flexible and more aesthetic lighting solution
would ensue.
But entirely new demands were made of the new direct lighting.
Man started to experiment.
Man got scent.
Wästberg appeared.
