New Works Tense LED Portable Table Lamp

The Tense table lamp was sculpted from the success of the Tense pendant that was designed by Panter & Tourron, a Swiss design duo that aimed to create a light based on the idea of tension. They experimented with kites, tents, ultra-lightweight sports equipment, and photography gear to get the shape and fabric that would bring their vision to life. Eventually, they discovered Tyvek, a medical fabric that is not only recycled but recyclable again and again. They chose Tyvek as it diffuses light beautifully and creates a subtle crinkled effect that characterises the design.

The way in which the light is diffused through the Tyvek shade creates a stunning warming effect as the colour temperature of the light can be adjusted as you prefer. From 2700K to 3300K, the light can be as warm or as cold as you wish with a simple touch of the integrated dimmer at the top of the lamp. This dimmer also allows you to adjust the light intensity and simply turn it off and on.

With a Li-ion battery, the Tense portable table lamp can be charged and used without a cable for up to 11 hours on full brightness. With a magnetic conducting cable, you also have the choice to have the lamp plugged in and used continuously without the cable obstructing the appearance of the lamp. This would be ideal for a bedside table or desk lamp, however, the portable element of this New Works LED table lamp allows you to place this Tense wherever you wish.
