A little bedside table with an integrated reading lamp - now that sounds nice. The She shelf, by Fontana Arte, is exactly this: a wall-mounted shelf and lamp all in one...
Fontana Arte's She Shelf and Lamp
Fontana Arte's minimalist She design is made of bent metal that comes in either glossy white or glossy black. A fluorescent bulb is tucked up under the top portion of the shelf and the metal in the light's housing is reflective, bouncing light down onto the shelf. Pefect for a tiny space, the shelf comes in two sizes and reduces the clutter of a free-standing lamp.

Cute shelf but I doubt it would cast enough light to read by.

great inspiration for my floating nightstand search

I'm with Giffin -- it seems like it doesn't really reduce the need for a lamp.

um...I see that getting extremely hot...the metal and anything else that bulb is shining down onto.

It's a fluorescent bulb, Enamorada. I really like this. It could go anywhere, not just as a nightstand. It would be nice if you could focus the light on your book while you read in bed instead of straight down to the shelf.

I like it - looks very "boutique hotel" - but I'd think that a gooseneck lamp mounted on the wall would still be necessary for reading in bed.

I agree with the other comments, but think this would be FABULOUS as a landing strip.

how much is it?

It could be used above the head of the bed instead of mounted beside as a nightstand. But aside from hating the term "landing strip".... it also seems suitable for the entry.
