What makes for an ideal table lamp? At MENU, we believe it's a design's ability to make instant visual impact and tell a story, paired with a subtlety that makes the lamp an equal, collaborative partner in defining the overall room ambience. It should incorporate the latest technology, yet also have an organic, natural dimension that conceals technical elements and contributes sculpturally. We're pleased to introduce a new, portable table lamp design that does all this and more.

Inspired by the bollards on board ships, the new Column Table Lamp from Norm Architects combines technology and mood-setting style in a striking mushroom shape with modern edge and a natural feel. It's a design that embodies freedom. Freedom of form in its bold, cylindrical elements. Freedom of light in its dimmable LED bulb. And, perhaps most importantly, freedom of movement, as the cordless Column Lamp can go wherever you do.

Sprinkle them throughout the office to bring a warm, relaxed ambience to counteract the standard fast pace. Set it down on the lounge coffee table or on the terrace as you enjoy post-dinner conversation or drinks. Use them in the lobbies of hotels or restaurants to draw people in, and swap out the standard table candles with something sturdier and more conversation-worthy. Lightweight and durable, with a beautiful finish, it's a design you'll want to try out in all your favorite spots.

The Column Lamp's warm, comfortable light makes any space more inviting, and fits into every decor, from the classic to the ultra-minimalist. The indoor table lamp is constructed from anodized aluminum. It is cordless and rechargeable via a USB charger. The LED light bulb produces soft, diffused, comfortable light with three settings. The design is available in a bronze finish.

Important usage information: To keep the internal battery healthy, only leave the Column Table Lamp plugged in during charging, with the lamp off. Do not leave plugged in while in use.
