McKenna’s battery-powered DEK create iconic lamps:

Sure, we’ve seen a plethora of design-inspired lamps before, but the biggest (and most refreshing) difference between the prototypes we typically see on expo floors or in the back of one’s imagination is that Mark McKenna’s iterations are actually for sale.
