San Francisco based Lumio's 360º pivoting Ovo table lamp cuts the power cord, glowing up to 6 hours at its brightest setting.

It’s become commonplace to add a rechargeable outdoor lantern or two to shed some light across an outdoor patio or balcony when al fresco dining is on the menu. But until recently, modern lamps sans the power cord designed for inside the home have been few and far between; those available would hardly warrant attention for their design, prioritizing function over form. And that’s a shame, because the reality is there’s not always a convenient outlet to plug into where you most need a light. The Lumio Ovo is amongst one of the more design-forward options available today, a lithium polymer battery powered table lamp glowing with sculptural elegance even while off.
Inspired by the playground staple ? the see-saw ? the seamless anodized aluminum lamp is comprised as a two-sided balancing act between a sculpted shade for directing light and a secondary small opaline sphere. The design lands visually somewhere between Michael Anastassiades’ IC Lights for Flos and Peter Stathis’ 360º pivoting Trapeze LED lamp, combining the sculptural poise of the former with the counterweighted movement of the latter ? a captivating silhouette that tempts the curious to investigate whether the lamp balances confidently or precariously.
