Every lantern is a lamp, but not every lamp is a lantern. Portable by design and inherently more all-weather-friendly, they’re made for summer evenings that start in one place and somehow end in another. Dining table, balcony, bistro corner, staircase – heck, you could probably even hang this outdoor lighting from a tree.
‘Outdoor lantern’ might sound... camping-esque, but Daniel Schofield’s riff for Audo Copenhagen is anything but, marrying a traditional empire shade with a handy dandy handle that makes the category feel not even slightly survivalist. Meanwhile, Philip Bro Ludvigsen’s lantern for Le Klint aims for a more timeworn transportation, musing the good ol' days with candle wax and an LED flame that flickers just like a real one for a Midsommar-rivaling 150 hours straight.
