The Horizon 2.0 is a Red Dot Award-winning LED task light designed by Mike McCoy and Peter Stathis — and one of the few desk lamps in MoMA's permanent collection. Thin Film LED technology delivers ultra-wide, glare-free illumination at 7.5 watts. 10-year warranty. CRI >92. Touch dimming with memory.

Most desk lamps light a desk. The Horizon 2.0 is in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.

Designed by Mike McCoy and Peter Stathis, the Horizon 2.0 evolved from the original 2011 Horizon — already a Red Dot Award winner — into a refined version that improves on every detail without changing what made it work. Thin Film LED technology produces a single shadow on the work surface, which means no competing shadows pulling your eye and no glare from the wrong angle. CRI >92 means colors look like colors.

The counterbalanced arm adjusts with fingertip pressure and holds position without drift. 15-inch reach. 18.5-inch working height. Touch dimming remembers your last setting.

7.5 watts. 50,000-hour LED lifespan — approximately 10 years of daily use. 52 lumens per watt. PVC-free. Red List Free. ENERGY STAR 2.0, LEED, WELL, and Living Building Challenge certified.

10-year warranty with 24/7 support.
