The Snap light features a circular shade that rests on a two-pronged hinge. When squeezed together, the clamp opens and allows the light to be clipped to bookshelves or other objects.
"The installation of lighting is often the last thing you do when you set up your interior," said Hesseldahl, who created the light while studying industrial design at Design School Kolding in Denmark.

The lamp is made from a wood fibre and plastic composite, with steel. This allowed the clamp section of the light to be moulded as a single piece. Hesseldahl was also able to incorporate the wiring into the form of the light so it extends unobtrusively out of the back of the clamp.
According to the designer, the Snap lamp can fit onto any surface that's eight to 40 millimetres thick. It includes a rotating shade that can be used to direct the light wherever needed most. A dimmer function also allows its intensity to be adjusted.
