French industrial designer Inga Sempé designed a more elegant version of the clamp lamp.
Her Island lamp, also known as the w153 Île, features a clamp integrated into a flat base, allowing it to sit on a table like a regular lamp.

It can even be hung from a wall.

The Island lamp is in production by Swedish lighting brand Wästberg.
