As the sun sets on your evening barbecue or apéro this summer, light up your garden or terrace in a relaxed, natural style with a rattan lamp.
This Victoria lamp by Esotec boasts solid construction – an 8mm thick poly rattan cord winds around a solid metal frame – so the weight makes it stable in all weathers. It can be suspended from a cable or chain using a solid metal bracket.
Recharge its built-in battery via a USB port and enjoy its various features: adjust the light colour between warm white, daylight white and cool white; and tweak the brightness of the LEDs across three levels, to adapt it as daylight fades.
Lighting duration is 6-8 hours with a full battery, and it also features automatic switch-on in the dark.
Price, €113.95.
