4 Ways to Brighten Your Outdoor Space

Whether it’s a dinner party or a quiet evening in the open air, nothing sets the mood outdoors better than lighting. You don’t need to settle for lighting or lamps that make your outdoor oasis less attractive than it could be—we’ve got what you need to create a refined, fun, stylish atmosphere for your outdoor spaces.

The advantage of design lighting goes beyond aesthetics and is also often expressed in the quality of materials used in its production, thoughtful features, and overall longevity versus more mass-manufactured options. Here are four of our recent favorites.

Bubbles Lamp

Taking inspiration from the fun, playful forms of blown bubbles, the Bubbles Lamp is formed from rotationally molded polyethylene resin, so it’s easy to clean, water resistant and durable. Completely wireless, and round except for a truncated face that lets it stand without rolling around, these lamps come with white or multicolored LED lights and built-in batteries. There are four sizes, allowing you to mix and match them to build that ever-elusive ‘wow factor’, and they’re equally suitable for home or commercial use.

We just love how playful and creative these lamps are, and how versatile—put them anywhere, use them to light up a pathway to an event, use them as table centerpieces, the opportunities to delight are truly abundant. The ice white matte finish ensures a diffuse, soft light that creates an intimate glow.

Kukà Lamps

The Kukà Lamp collection is a little more serious than the Bubbles series, but equally creative. The cylindrical form consists of an eco cement upper chamber that houses the lamp and a lower part made of transparent methacrylate, which allows light to flow freely into the lamp’s surroundings. The smaller lamps feature a leather carrying strap that makes them easy to take with you, and rechargeable batteries are built into the lamp.

We’re big fans of the minimalist, futuristic look of the Kuka series, which covers everything from small lanterns, tall standing lamps, to coffee tables. They’re daring, sleek and original, but still have a certain coziness about them that can draw people in and build a focal point.

The Second Light Lamp

The Second Light Lamp is definitely more than a bit meta and playful in its form of a classic lightbulb. With a durable metal base and polyethylene resin shell, it’s durable and built to stand the test of time and weather. It features internal LED lights in white or multicolor versions, as well as a built-in battery that untethers it from electrical outlets and gives you the freedom to put it wherever it creates the right effect.

The multicolor option can help you strike any mood effortlessly, while the lampshade is easy to clean and features an ice white matte finish that keeps this lamp looking cool even in the bright light of daytime. Suitable for indoor and outdoor placement, this lamp is equally striking at home or as part of a chic-looking commercial space.

Malè Lamp

This collection of outdoor floor lamps is a bit more restrained in design than the other examples we’ve provided, with tall and short versions that present forms reminiscent of cacti. Constructed with a stainless steel frame surrounded by a plastic shell to diffuse light, the Malè Lamps feature a sturdy base to keep them steady in all conditions.

These lamps need to be plugged in, so they’re well-suited to more permanent setups outdoors and can be used to great effect indoors as well. Their understated styling makes the Male series perfect for creating a classic and timeless space.

These are just four great examples of fun and funky outdoor lighting. You can still accessorize with lanterns and candles, but a good electric light offers flexibility and ease of use that’s hard to beat. From the unexpected and playful to the austere and calm, you can find the right addition to your outdoor space and take your outdoor gatherings or private oases to bright new heights.

If you’ve been looking for an outdoor lighting upgrade that’s got style, character, and flexibility (all the lights above wouldn’t be out of place indoors), we’ve got just the piece to complement or complete your space.
