Lighting gifts
Make their day a bright one.

&Tradition VP9 Flowerpot Portable Table Lamp – The futuristic Flowerpot silhouette pushed the boundaries of conventional lamp design when it was released in the 1960s and is now a much-loved design classic. Created by Danish designer Verner Panton, this portable version of the Flowerpot Table Lamp is deliberately lightweight for ease of movement, allowing you to create a cosy atmosphere almost anywhere.
Tala The Muse Portable Table Lamp - Tala x Farrow & Ball – The result of a collaboration between two pioneering British brands, Tala and Farrow & Ball, this design is completely cordless, making it infinitely versatile. The Muse has a long-life battery which gives you up to 24 hours of light.
Louis Poulsen PH 3/2 Table Lamp - Limited Edition - An ideal gift for any design enthusiast, the 3/2 Table Lamp is produced for a limited time in a beautiful brushed brass finish with mouth-blown opal glass while retaining Poul Henningsen’s signature PH silhouette. Characterised by a golden glow, the untreated brushed brass can develop a beautiful patina over time if left untreated and become a truly unique piece.
