The best portable lamps for indoors and outdoors
If you’re looking to discover the best portable lamps for indoor and outdoor use, we have a list of our favorite portable lamps that respect the Scandinavian design ethos of functional design that doesn’t sacrifice aesthetics.
Each of these LED portable lamps can work wherever an outlet is out of reach: a side table in the middle of a spacious living room, a covered patio, a built-in bookshelf, a kitchen island, and anywhere else you need some light.
The Kizu Portable Lamp is one of the most popular designs from New Works portable lighting. Composed of two bold geometric forms that balance each other beautifully, the contrasting shapes give this lamp a weightless feel while preserving a calming expression thanks to the organic curves of each shape.
A design of duality and contrast, the Como SC53 Portable Lamp by Space Copenhagen for &Tradition features a sturdy base that tapers upwards towards its softly curved shade. It comes in a range of colors and finishes to suit every style.
Light No. 1 Portable Outdoor Lamp is a solar-powered design from HOUE takes portable to a whole new level without sacrificing aesthetics. Use its integrated handle to hang it from a tree or simply set it on a table for alfresco dining.
Named after the Japanese word for light, the minimal Tomoshi Portable Lamp from Louis Poulsen evokes a sense of nostalgia and familiarity. Designed by Oki Sato, this light is easy to place, hang, or carry wherever you go.
Designed in collaboration with Jaime Hayon, the &Tradition Setago JH27 Portable Lamp is a mellow light named after seta, the Spanish word for mushroom. We love its playful expression.
Ferm Living's bestselling table lamp is reimagined in portable form with the Arum Portable Lamp. Just like the original, this stylish portable lamp is crafted from powder-coated iron and aluminum. We love how its petal-shaped shade appears to float from the stem-like rod.
Inspired by Vilhelm Lauritzen’s iconic 1940s Radiohus Pendant, the VL45 Radiohus Portable Lamp is a timeless design that creates ambiance in any setting with its mouth-blown opal glass shade finished with lacquered aged brass and a dark brown leather strap.
Inspired by the golden glow seen in the Tuscan city of Lucca, the elegant Lucca SC51 Portable Lamp works in a variety of settings, from indoors to outdoors.
Verner Panton’s iconic Panthella Lamp is pared down to a portable version with the Panthella 160 Portable Lamp. It preserves the original design’s characteristic shape and ability to reflect soft light from its signature trumpet-shaped base.
Ferm Living's Luver Portable Lamp acts as your accompaniment from one space to another, with a silhouette subtly referencing the louvered windows and doors found throughout Jon Utzon's Can Lis estate. The angled slats, which allow for controlled airflow and light filtration, make a beautiful shade for this unique portable lamp.
The Porta Table Lamp is Normann Copenhagen’s first-ever portable lamp. Made distinctive by its rounded, organic design cues, the cylinder base and elongated dome shape of the lampshade contribute to an aesthetic cohesiveness. The distinctive lampshade of the Porta accommodates the need for pleasant, atmospheric lighting in smaller settings. When turned at a 90-degree angle, the lampshade takes up less space, allowing it to easily fit into compact spaces such as windowsills, small café tables, or shelves. Cordless and lightweight, bring your Porta from the kitchen to the patio to your favorite cozy corner. The dimmer allows you to set the lighting to match your mood. Porta recharges via a USB charging cable and can last up to 90 hours depending on the light setting.
The Bellhop Portable Lamp from FLOS can move around as much as a bellhop in a hotel. Completely wireless, the Bellhop can hold its charge for up to 24 hours, with 4 different lighting levels via the dimmer function positioned on the base. Beneath the base, there’s even a handy battery status indicator. The modern design comes from Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby. It comes in multiple vibrant and neutral hues.
The minimal geometric elements unite to form the Meridian Lamp. Introduced by Ferm Living in collaboration with Regular Company, the Meridian Lamp offers an intriguing and sculptural lighting solution that can be placed wherever you need it. With 4 different beautiful finishes, the Meridian Lamp can last up to 12 hours per charge. It’s dimmable, too!We love it styled on a built-in shelf, a bedside table, or a kitchen island. The options are truly endless.
