As portable lights become more popular in modern homes, POSE Portable stands out with its clever use of flat lenses – borrowed from the world of lighthouses, traffic signals, and precision instruments. Its bold, playful form brings character to any space, while its high light output and adjustability make it as functional as it is eye-catching. Made for today’s dynamic lifestyles, it’s a practical lighting solution that’s easy to move and adapt wherever you need it most.

Vilhelm Lauritzen’s iconic VL 45 Radiohus lamp gets a fresh, portable update – marking the first time one of his designs has been made for outdoor use. The VL 45 Radiohus Portable Lamp retains the quiet elegance of the original pendant, now reimagined with a sleek brass base and a leather strap for easy carrying. It’s equally at home on a balcony, in a garden, or moving room to room indoors, offering soft 360° light with discreet dimming controls and up to five hours of battery life. Comes in three subtle colourways.
Arne Jacobsen’s iconic AJ lamp gets a refined update for Spring 2025, now offered in black and warm grey with elegant brass details that will develop a natural patina over time. Originally designed in the late 1950s for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the AJ lamp’s sharp lines and precise, glare-free lighting continue to feel fresh nearly seven decades on. Whether as a floor lamp, wall light, or mini table version, this modernist classic brings a soft glow and timeless sophistication to any space.
Circuit.11 is a sleek, ultra-slim (just 11mm!) modular track lighting system that brings flexibility and style to any space. Compatible with popular AEON models like Boba and Globula, it allows creative layouts that flow effortlessly from ceiling to wall – blending decorative flair with functional lighting. Available in four versions – including the curved R track for an organic feel, trimless for a minimalist look, and H and U tracks for versatile uplighting and downlighting – Circuit.11 is a modern lighting solution designed to adapt to your needs.
There’s been a noticeable change in how lighting is used at home – not just for function, but for atmosphere and expression. WiZ’s latest RGBIC Strips tap into this shift, offering the kind of colour versatility that suits the layered, often hybrid nature of today’s home environments. Ideal for spaces like gaming rooms, media setups, or even home offices, they show just how far LED strips have come from their purely utilitarian beginnings.
