Battery spool lamp – dinner light in the center of the table, no outlet needed

Most dining tables stand in the middle of the room, far from any wall socket. This spool-shaped lamp carries its own battery, so once it is charged it simply goes where the plates are. The khaki green gloss gives the table a little personality.

What sets this khaki lamp apart

You charge it during the day and use it at night without any wire in sight. A single button on top moves it from bright light for serving to a low glow for when the meal runs long.

• Free placement: set it anywhere on the table, since there is no plug to reach
• Three brightness steps: low, medium and high, cycled with one tap on the top
• Run time: around 7 hours at full brightness and close to 24 hours on low
• Wipe-clean finish: ten coats of glossy khaki lacquer that handle a spill or a sticky hand
• Turned spool shape: a rounded, stacked profile that reads well from every chair

A weeknight dinner looks a bit more deliberate with it in the middle.

The lamp is 30 cm high, which keeps it under eye level so nobody has to look around it. Plug it into USB-C at the base in the afternoon and it is full in about 8 hours. On other nights it does just as well on a sideboard or the patio table.
