MADE BY PEN

Can we all collectively agree the “Sway” is one of the coolest floor lamps to make its way into the market? Need proof? Sure thing. For starters, this is actually an outdoor portable lamp. Yep, that globe up the top is actually made of a translucent silicone, so it’s safe from harsh outdoor elements. Secondly, its design is truly one of a kind. You can have it rock and roll around, or place it on a stand for stability. And finally, this portable floor lamp has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different settings: bright + cool, bright + warm, ambient + cool , and ambient + warm. Omg and of course, it’s the fact that it’s totally portable! It really is the light for every situation.

A portable lamp list ain’t a portable lamp list without mentioning the Kizu by NEW WORKS. I mean just look at it… it’s art shaped as a lamp. That marble base is delicious and the hemisphere globe has three brightness settings. Perfect in the bedroom, this portable bedside lamp can be set to a low ambient glow for easing yourself out of a stressful day. It’s also fab when used as a portable desk lamp, as you can set it to be nice and bright to keep your work visible and your eyes at attention.
