The Loading Lamp is a wall-mounted lamp inspired by one of the most universally frustrating symbols in modern life: the spinning beach ball of death.
The frame is CNC-milled from solid aluminum, bead-blasted and anodized in a matte black finish. A real glass mirror sits flush inside, surrounded by a custom LED circuit that produces a continuous, smooth loading animation—a clean halo of perpetual motion.
Every detail was intentionally over-engineered: a recessed LED channel, a protective lip to safeguard the glass edge, a centered hanging system for balanced mounting, and a custom PCB with 75 addressable LEDs for a seamless glow.
Powered via USB-C, the Loading Lamp is designed to stay on—not die halfway through the moment like the thing that inspired it.

I love everything that Matty and Unnecessary Labs makes. I’ve been enjoying the YouTube channel for many years now. It’s so cool that I was able to actually buy something made at Unnecessary Labs.
Get MATTY’s next object first.
New objects, restocks, and occasional notes from the studio. Get a heads-up before the next release.
