These days I tend to just look for a desk lamp that can do what it's supposed to do: light up. Even when it has a nice second feature, like this lamp/iPod dock, I just want a utilitarian lamp.

But I could totally ignore all that for this USB Desk Lamp by Japanese Design firm Conof, which provides light and spare USB ports? Plus, I just love that cool C-shape — and the lamp head also rotates 270 degrees. Doesn't look like pricing is available yet, but I'm wishing and hoping for a green one.
But what do you think? Is it modern cool or just modern cold?

it's nice but it seems a bit bulky
1That's awesome! I'd love to have one for my desk at work.
2I love the concept of it but this design doesn't do it for me. I would love to have a bedside lamp that has a USB port that I could use to charge my iPhone at night.
3love it! would be interested in the price
4Interesting, and I can see how it appeals to others, but not my style.
5I like it. Not sure I'd use it but I think it's a cool, modern design with a cool concept of being able to plug your ipod into it!
6Brilliant!
7beautiful design. If I had a desk, I'd be all over it.
8I like it. It'd go lovely on that desk that was posted earlier. As long as it was in a bright color... all that white and gray would be too cold.
9I do like the style, but it wouldn't work well on my already crowded desk. I'd prefer one that I could mount on the wall.
10i want one!
11I like the idea, but I think the lamp looks clunky.
12I like it! Would look good on a clean, nice desk (not mine...)
Nice and clean design.
13Love the concept, not so much on the look.
14Not only do I love it, but I could interpret the C to stand for Coral
15I like it, but I think it seems too big for me.
16Im sure alot of people would buy it though :]

the idea is cool, but I don't like the design.
18this is awesome looking! hopefully the price will be too. :]
19this is the answer to all my bedside problems!
well...maybe not all but close to it. I need a lamp that can be able to turn and direct light, but also don't want to have all my apple devices plugged in the same wall.
the two USB ports are perfect for my needs, except i probably would ask them if i could even do a hub because i kinda have an iphone, a nano, a shuffle, and a 80gb classic...yikesss...
but i also wonder...could i power the USB humping dog?
20that would be awesome...
I'm with MacGirl. Better as a bedside lap that would charge devices.
Except I'd like it for the Zune
21great and useful design!!
22I hate to be the total outcast on this one...but yuck. I don't like it.
23loving it!! where can i get one?
24really handy to have the usb for charging
i think the 'extra' USB ports aren't much to get excited about. it'll take up one USB port on your pc to plug the lamp into, so you only really gain one additional USB port.
not super fussed.
25That's awesome! Love how it doesn't take up a lot of space!
26kinda cute. i like it.
27i think it's rather conventional. i dont use my ipod often, so i don't really care for it much. though, im sure my boyfriend would love it since he enjoys listening to music while he studies.
28Useful~ but I don't like those colors; I think it would be nice in black ^^
29cute!
30Great. But where can you buy one???
