World Book Day is a celebration of stories, imagination and the simple joy of reading. Whether you’re diving into a new novel, revisiting a favourite classic, or enjoying a quiet evening chapter before bed, the right atmosphere can transform the experience.

At Gingko Design, books have inspired more than just reading moments – they’ve inspired design. Our Smart Book Light Collection reimagines the familiar shape of a book, transforming it into a beautifully crafted light that unfolds into a striking sculptural piece.

Elegant, portable and thoughtfully designed, the Smart Book Light brings warmth and creativity to any reading space.

A Light Inspired by Books

At first glance, the Smart Book Light looks like a beautifully bound notebook. But open it, and it transforms into a soft, glowing lamp. The pages unfold to reveal a warm ambient light that can be opened to 360 degrees, creating a unique and eye-catching lighting feature.

Compact and cordless, the Smart Book Light is designed to move easily around your home – perfect for bookshelves, bedside tables, desks or cosy reading corners.

Meet the Smart Book Light Family

The Smart Book Light collection comes in three sizes, each designed to suit different spaces and styles.

Large Smart Book Light

The Large Smart Book Light is the original statement piece. When opened, it creates a striking sculptural lamp that adds warmth and character to any room.

It is available in a range of natural wood finishes including Walnut and Maple, as well as fibre leather and linen fabric cover options in colours such as Grey and Pink, allowing you to match the light to your interior style.

Mini Smart Book Light

The Mini Smart Book Light offers the same beautiful concept in a smaller format, making it ideal for bedside tables, shelves and smaller reading nooks.

Despite its compact size, it still delivers the same warm glow and elegant design. The Mini version is available in Walnut, Maple and Bamboo wood finishes, along with selected fibre leather and linen fabric colour options.

Super Mini Smart Book Light – Palm Edition

The Super Mini Smart Book Light is our most compact design. Small enough to carry anywhere, it’s perfect for adding a touch of warm light to smaller spaces or creating subtle ambient lighting around the home.

The Super Mini is available in Walnut and Maple finishes, along with Space Black, Lunar White, Coral Red and Lagoon Teal colourways, highlighting the natural beauty of sustainable materials.

Designed for Beautiful Reading Moments

Reading is often about slowing down – taking a moment away from busy schedules and screens to enjoy a story. The warm, soft glow of the Smart Book Light helps create that calm, comfortable environment.

Whether you’re building a dedicated reading nook, styling a bookshelf, or simply adding gentle lighting beside your bed, the Smart Book Light combines functionality, craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
