"JAL is a table lamp built around two glass cones joined tip to tip, like a clear hourglass. The bulb sits inside this double cone so it appears to float in the air, and the whole piece is available in transparent or frosted glass. The only other visible element is the cable, which comes in different colors and quietly sets the tone."
"Placing JAL with the bulb facing upward on a sideboard, it behaves like a familiar table lamp, throwing light onto the wall and ceiling. Flip it so the bulb points downward, and it turns into more of a glowing object that pools light on the surface below. That simple rotation changes how you use the lamp, from reading companion to ambient accent."
"The clear-glass version makes the bulb and its reflections the main event, better suited to a living room corner or a shelf where you want a bit of sparkle. The frosted version softens everything, turning the hourglass into a diffuse glow that feels more at home on a bedside table or a quiet desk. The form stays the same, but the way it holds light shifts with the finish."
"Som by Mos offers a selection of cable colors, so the one strong line cutting through the glass can either disappear or become a graphic detail. A neutral cable lets the lamp fade into a minimal setup, while a bolder color makes it feel more playful. Those small decisions, orientation, glass type, cable, are how the lamp becomes "whatever you want it to be.""
JAL is an hourglass-shaped table lamp composed of two glass cones joined tip to tip with the bulb sitting inside the double cone so it appears to float. The lamp is available in transparent or frosted glass and offers a selection of colored cables. Orientation changes the light behavior: bulb-up projects light onto walls and ceilings, bulb-down pools light on surfaces for ambient glow. Clear glass emphasizes the bulb and reflections while frosted glass produces a diffuse, softer glow. Cable color can be neutral to disappear or bold to add a graphic, playful accent.
