Affixed to the base by four metal arms, the glass shade has a distinctive
depth thanks to its transparent outside and sandblasted inner surface. This,
in combination with a digitally created surface pattern and a frosted-glass
diffuser that houses the bulb, gives the lamp’s light a soft, textured, and
poetic quality.
Used either individually or deployed in clusters on long tables, Seine
Portable Lamps offer the flexibility to extend afternoon barbecues into
evening soirées under the stars, and to keep enjoying the life alfresco
even as summer shifts into autumn. Indoors, the lamps are ever-ready
companions, able to transform dark corners into cozy reading nooks, or
guide night owls on midnight wanders around the house. A touch-activated
three-stage dimmer set into the base allows the user to set the light level
that the atmosphere demands, or to brighten up outdoor spaces in stages
as the sun sets.
The Seine Portable Lamp incorporates a specially developed LED lamp and
integrated battery pack. A bespoke docking plate, fitted with a steel weight
ring and powered by USB-C, acts as permanent base and charging station,
returning the Seine Portable Lamp to full capacity in around eight hours of
charging time. A single charge can provide from six to 50 hours of light,
depending on the dimmer setting chosen. Although it should be charged
and stored indoors, the lamp is splash-proof and resistant to sand and soil,
so can be freely used in every outdoor setting.
