Meet the Scissor Lamp: a desk lamp in the shape of a giant pair of scissors.
Made from sapele hardwood and polished stainless steel, it opens and closes just like the real thing. Open it to turn the light on; close it and the light switches off.
USB-C powered and built to last, the Scissor Lamp is a fully functional desk lamp with a playful point of view.
Simone sketches the first concept for a lamp shaped like a giant pair of tailor's shears, with the blades doubling as the light source.

Simone builds the first prototype from welded steel and hidden LED strips. The YouTube video quickly surpasses one million views.
June 2020
Stu and Simone explore turning the Scissor Lamp into a DIY kit. After building a few prototypes, the idea is shelved because it's too complex to manufacture.
August 2020
With the launch of Yetch Studio, the project is revived. Replacing the flexible gooseneck with a vertical mounting transforms the lamp's silhouette and becomes the foundation for the final design.
August 2024
The team refines the base through numerous prototypes and develops custom electronics that automatically switch the light on and off as the scissors open and close.
October 2024
After six years of development, the Scissor Lamp enters production. The finished design stays true to the original concept while incorporating custom tooling, electronics, and a mechanism that makes opening and closing the scissors both functional and fun.
