Description
jundado · Claudia Hüskes
The gift that even confirmed non-stuffed-animal people fall for instantly.
Henry is not an ordinary gift – and that is exactly the point. You simply drape this animal-shaped reading light over your shoulder, press the tip of its nose, and have light exactly where you are reading. No cable. No repositioning. No partner getting blinded. Anyone who has given Henry as a gift knows: this light will not gather dust. It will be used every evening – and loved.
Why Henry is the perfect gift for book lovers
Every avid reader knows the problem: the bedside lamp misses the book. The partner is already asleep. The floor lamp is too far away. Henry solves all of this at once – it rests on your shoulder, shines directly onto the page, and disturbs no one. Owners report that their reading time increased significantly after getting Henry, simply because their eyes no longer tire as quickly.
What makes Henry special as a gift: it surprises. It delights on unwrapping. And it actually gets used every day – not as decoration, but as a genuine reading companion. Buyers on the jundado website report that Henry has been a hit again and again as a birthday present, a Christmas gift, or a spontaneous "I thought of you" surprise. Many come back to buy more – for friends, siblings, parents.
Designer Claudia Hüskes developed Henry in 2014 in Düsseldorf, winning 2nd place at the Nonbook Award at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2017. Claudia Hüskes is a two-time winner of the Red Dot Design Award – making Henry a product born from award-winning design thinking, without losing any of its warmth.
What customers say after buying
"Henry was exactly the Christmas present I asked for. I am absolutely thrilled. He is so soft and sweet." – buyer on jundado.de. "A reading light with heart – works well, looks great, feels good and is worth every penny!" – Ursula K. "Henry was a wonderful birthday gift – something out of the ordinary, brings real joy." – Mary F.
And one of the most candid user reports, from a book blog: after nearly a year of daily use, the enthusiasm has not faded – reading time doubled because eyes no longer tire as fast. Henry even comes along on travels.
Handmade in Germany – from start to finish
The idea originates from the Rhineland. The technical core – 9 Luminus XNOVA Cube LEDs with a CRI of 89 Ra and a colour temperature of 3,300 K – comes from Berlin. The soft, fluffy body made from Trevira CS velour (flame-retardant, Oeko-Tex certified) is hand-sewn in a plush toy workshop in Thuringia. The USB charging cable always travels with Henry – tucked away in his little belly pouch.
How Henry works – quick guide
First use (deactivating the key lock): Henry is shipped with the key lock activated. Hold the silicone lens on the tip of his nose until the red light comes on – then release. From now on, a short press is all it takes.
Operating the light: One short press = Level 1 (40%, 8 hrs runtime, comfortable reading). Another short press = Level 2 (100%, 4 hrs runtime, for fine print or needlework). Another short press = light off.
Charging: Open the small belly pouch on Henry's underside using a paperclip or similar tool (child safety lock) – remove the USB cable and connect to a PC, powerbank or USB mains adapter. Charging time approx. 5 hours. Henry glows green when fully charged. A mains adapter is not included. Charging should only take place under adult supervision.
Care & battery tips: The technical components must not get wet – clean with a slightly damp cloth only. Do not microwave, do not use as a heat pad. Recharge the battery at least once a quarter to prevent deep discharge. The battery lasts approx. 500 charge cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Henry a good gift for?
Henry is the ideal gift for anyone who loves reading – whether in bed, on the sofa, or in an armchair. Particularly popular as a birthday or Christmas gift for book lovers, as a housewarming present, or as an original "I thought of you" surprise.
How do I switch Henry on for the first time?
Henry is shipped with the key lock activated. Hold the silicone lens on the tip of his nose until the red light comes on – then release. After that, a short press switches between Level 1, Level 2, and off.
How long does the battery last?
On brightness Level 1 (40%, comfortable reading) Henry shines for up to 8 hours – enough for several reading evenings without recharging. On Level 2 (100%, for fine print or needlework) it's up to 4 hours.
How do you charge Henry?
The USB cable is stored in Henry's belly pouch (use a paperclip to open it – child safety lock). Connect it to a computer, powerbank, or standard USB mains adapter. Charging takes approx. 5 hours.
Can Henry be washed?
No – the technical components must not get wet. Clean with a slightly damp cloth only. Do not put in the microwave and do not use as a heat pad.
Is the light warm or cool?
The 9 Luminus XNOVA Cube LEDs have a colour temperature of 3,300 K – neutral white with a slight warm tone. The CRI of 89 Ra delivers very natural colour rendering that is easy on the eyes. Not glaring, but clear enough for relaxed reading.
Does Henry's light disturb a sleeping partner?
No – that is one of its biggest advantages. Since Henry rests on your shoulder and directs light straight onto the book, the rest of the room stays dark. On Level 1, the light is precisely targeted for reading without illuminating the surroundings.
Is Henry suitable for children?
Henry is recommended for ages 6 and up. The belly pouch containing the battery can only be opened with a tool (e.g. a paperclip) – a deliberate child safety feature. Charging should take place under adult supervision. As a reading companion for children, Henry is very popular.
Where is Henry made?
Entirely in Germany: the technical core is manufactured in Berlin, the soft Trevira CS velour body is hand-sewn in a plush toy workshop in Thuringia. Design and development are by Claudia Hüskes in Düsseldorf.
Is there a sister model to Henry?
Yes – jundado also makes Holly, a shoulder reading light in the shape of a rabbit, manufactured in the same workshops with the same technology.
