Pocket-sized, palm-friendly, endlessly warm — the iconic folding book light in its most personal form yet.
Main Description
The Gingko Palm Edition is the most compact version of one of the most-loved lamp designs around — a folding book light that fits in your pocket, rests comfortably in your hand, and still delivers the same warm, ambient glow that made the original so special. Open it up and it transforms from a small closed book into a glowing lantern of softly fanned pages. Close it and it disappears into a bag or jacket pocket without a second thought.
What makes the Palm Edition feel different is precisely its scale. At just 90 x 70 x 20 mm when closed — small enough to sit in the palm of a hand — it brings an intimacy to the usual book light experience. This is a lamp for a bedside table in a hotel room, for reading on a train, for keeping on a desk as a quiet point of warmth. Despite the reduced footprint, nothing meaningful has been sacrificed: the same tactile opening gesture, the same monochromatic warm white LED, the same thoughtfully engineered folding pages in waterproof, tear-resistant eco-paper.
The Palm Edition is part of Gingko's growing family of Smart Book Lights — a range that has expanded in size and colour over the years while staying true to the original idea. Available in a palette of finishes including walnut-effect, teal, red, cream and graphite, there is a version to suit any home, desk, or personality. Each one comes USB-rechargeable, with a 500 mAh battery giving 3 to 4 hours of light per charge — more than enough for an evening.

Why ORA Loves It
We carry Gingko because they make objects that are genuinely clever without making a show of it. The book light concept is simple but perfect — a lamp that looks like a book, opens like a book, and feels at home on any surface where books live. The Palm Edition takes all of that and shrinks it to something you can carry in a coat pocket or drop in an overnight bag. It is the kind of gift that makes people think 'I would never have thought to buy this for myself, but I love it.' Which is, honestly, our favourite kind.
