Cordless Lamps Are The Portable Lighting Solution You Can Take Anywhere

A sunny shade and glossy finish make this cordless lamp a very bright addition – whether it’s on or off. Style-wise, a metal mushroom shade and slim base create a striking silhouette and cast light downward for ideal tabletop illumination. (The warm color temperature of the built-in bulb is easy on the eye too.) Consider it your new companion for the countertop, a cozy reading corner, or placed on a patio table for up to 8 hours of outdoor light.

Form meets function in the Setago Lamp, a compact design created by Jamie Hayon for Danish brand &Tradition. Coming from Scandinavia, it’s no surprise this lamp has serious aesthetic appeal and considered details that set it apart – like a sophisticated color palette of nude and forest green and a brass dimmer knob. A design this good also needs to be on display, so give it pride of place on a bookshelf or side table to be utilized, admired (and probably complimented by all your guests).

This striking cordless lamp wouldn’t be out of place perched on the bar at a chic restaurant, but it’s also perfectly suited for subtly lighting up any surface. (I’ve placed it on my kitchen counter for some much-needed extra illumination while slicing and dicing.) The matte black aluminum finish is great for a graphic look, but if you prefer some shine, it’s on offer in gold, chrome, rose gold, and rust as well.

Is it lighting or sculpture? Well, the Tala Mantle Lamp just happens to be both. The conical base and uniquely shaped frosted bulb create an eye-catching look – even when not turned on. But when it is, the warm light temperature mimics candlelight, casting a lovely, even, and appealing glow. It’s also wet-rated for outdoor use and has up to 24 hours of impressive battery life.

The Como Lamp offers Mid-Century looks with modern convenience. An anodized aluminum base and curved shade may have the appeal of the past, but this light packs the LED technology and convenience of today. It offers 11 hours of light when fully on, 3 light settings, and black, bronze, and hi-gloss red and blue-gray finishes in addition to the classic brass. I can certainly picture it as a stand-out in a study or office, making it a worthy investment in years of illumination.

As its name implies, the Carrie lamp has a built-in handle for (duh) carrying. Just reach for the elegant arch and you have an on-the-go lamp to take with you from room to room or for backyard entertaining after dark. A simple spherical glass bulb is nestled on a steel base, creating a minimalist look that comes in 6 six curated finishes (it was designed by architects, after all). Grab this glowing orb if you’re a design devoté and want a lighting solution to match your chic space.
