Lighting you can take anywhere: the ‘Kizu’ portable lamp from New Works

Portable lamps are such useful things to have around the home, especially if you have gloomy corners where cables won’t stretch, or if you want an alternative to harsh overhead lights in socket-less spaces such as bathrooms. I put together a round-up of some of my favourites last year and now there’s another beauty to add to the list: a portable version of the ‘Kizu’ table lamp from New Works, which has just been launched.

I’ve had a normal plug-in ‘Kizu’ lamp for a few years now and absolutely love it, so I was very excited when New Works asked if I wanted to test out this latest twist on the design. And it hasn’t disappointed.

Created by Lars Tornøe, the ‘Kizu’ combines two sculptural shapes that almost look as if they’re balancing on top of each other. Like the original, the portable one has a marble base in a choice of black, white or gris du marais and is topped by a striking acrylic shade. It has a three-step dimmer switch on the top, and lasts for 10-11 hours between charges. It’s also sized to perfection – smaller than the standard lamp to allow for maximum flexibility, but big enough to cast plenty of light.

It’s the kind of thing I know I’m going to use in all sorts of different ways. It normally sits on the shelving unit in our dining room, where I’ve long wanted to add a lamp but don’t want ugly cables on show. I often bring it into the living room, too, as it’s ideal when we have friends or family to visit and need a bit of extra illumination. I can even see it being used in the garden on balmy summer evenings, when we tend to sit outside long after it gets dark, or perhaps coming with us for a picnic in the local park!

Some photos of the gorgeous @a.__gallery, which I Some photos of the gorgeous @a.__gallery, which I visited on a recent trip to the Netherlands. Isn't it beautiful? Calm, textural and layered, with handmade pieces by an array of independent artists and artisans. 

I've also interviewed Holly, founder of the gallery and interior design studio @avenue.design.studio, on my blog. I've always admired the elegant, timeless spaces she creates, and the way she reflects the architectural context of each setting. I first met her in person last year, when I featured her own home in my book, and I've since worked with her on another exciting project that I can't wait to share soon...

A few snaps from the gorgeous @gubiofficial showro A few snaps from the gorgeous @gubiofficial showroom in London, which I visited during @clerkenwelldesignweek earlier this week. I missed the opening event for this last year, so it was great to finally have a look around in person. The light is stunning, as is GUBI's selection of contemporary and classic designs - including the sculptural and futuristic F300 lounge  chair, first designed by Pierre Paulin in the 1960s and recently relaunched. 

Which room or corner is your favourite...?

Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist then so I'm using our anniversary as an excuse to share some of my favourite wedding photos.

I have so many happy memories from the day, but what I remember the most is all the laughter. And the funniest best men's (Chris had four!) speech I've ever heard. I wish we'd had a videographer just to capture that.

Anyway, thanks @small_round_things for the last eight years - and for the 13 before we actually got around to tying the knot!
