The 9 most beautiful reinterpretations of lanterns
Nothing beats a mood light that you can take with you wherever you go.
The new outdoor-friendly, portable lamps are more unusual than ever before. These nine models are just a few examples. I think they are particularly successful because they can camouflage technology, illuminate flowers or serve snacks. This makes them ideal companions for both indoor and outdoor use.
1. the elegant one
The rechargeable "Bring me" table lamp from Hübsch hides its light source in a sage-green steel housing and is limited to simple, straight shapes. Another highlight: one touch is all it takes to operate it.

2. the filigree
The best lantern? Doesn't look like one at all. At first glance, "Pina Pro" from Zafferano resembles an arrow stuck in a funnel-shaped base. Once switched on, it glows warm white and creates a subdued lighting mood thanks to the dimming function. Because the lamp is so slim, it takes up very little space.
3. the tangible one
The "Porti Braided" lamp emits a soft and warm light - whether on a picnic blanket or a table. Thanks to the handle, it can hang from a tree and become a pendant light. But the best thing about it is the woven rattan shade. It makes the technology invisible. Nevertheless, it has a hover-touch function that allows you to control the light intensity.

4. the cloudy one
With the "Antibes" table lamp in rust brown, you can add a natural accent to any room. The neutral colour tone adapts to any style, yet the shape stands out: the bulbous light body looks like a cloud that has strayed onto a base. If the earth tone is too boring for you, you can choose between three different shades of white for the cloud as well as other light colours such as pink or green.
5. the multifunctional
The Konstsmide rechargeable table lamp combines two functions in one product: it is a mood light and a glass vase. Its aluminium base is restrained in terms of colour and shape. This means that every flower you place with "Biarritz" becomes the centre of attention. It's good to know that you can adjust the light intensity and colour temperature.

6. the cheerful ones
"Trio" is all about fun. Even the yellow colour pops like corks - without any light. The colour makes the illuminated mushroom ideal for decorators with an eclectic style who enjoy design and indirect lighting. Because the light source is concealed under the lampshade, the light only shines downwards.
7. the generous one
Pens, cacti or a small snack - the bowl of the battery-operated Zafferano lamp can hold a lot. It is removable and made of thermoplastic resin, which is suitable for contact with food. The lamp, on the other hand, is made of die-cast aluminium and the diffuser is made of satinised polycarbonate. The latter ensures that the light is diffused particularly softly.

8. the golden one
If you want to set accents, opt for a lamp like "Neapel" from Villeroy & Bloch. It shines all by itself thanks to its reflective surface. The spherically rounded lampshade and the base, under which the charging station including cable and mains plug are located, are also a bonus.
9. the sensible one
In a Mario Kondo-inspired room, this lamp from Eglo scores with its mushroom-shaped, soft silhouette and restrained colour tone. It is perfect for creating a pleasant atmosphere. This is because its LEDs mainly shine downwards and the light intensity can be regulated with a dimmer.
