FLOS announces the U.S. launch of the Bellhop cordless table lamp, designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, now available at usa.flos.com and through FLOS’s retail partners. The portable lamp pays homage to the hatted hotel porter, from which it gets its name, with its reminiscent, bell-like shape.
Bellhop, measuring 8.2” tall, is equally playful and practical. It offers a comfortable, anti-glare glow for up to 24 hours between charging. The designers chose to utilize edge-lighting technology, the innovative method of lighting a flat disc with a ring of LEDs around its edges, to ensure an evenly lit surface.
“The Bellhop began when we designed a table lamp for the new London Design Museum. The tabletop Bellhop gives the user ultimate flexibility as a portable lamp. Bellhop casts an atmospheric pool of light and the portable version is like a modern-day candle.” – E. Barber and J. Osgerby
A mixture of neutral and bold finishes, such as white, grey, burnt orange and dark brown add a touch of warmth to any interior space. The table lamp re-charges via USB-C, charging in 3 hours and has a carefully hidden status indicator under the base. At the push of a button, the user has four different dimming options between 10%-100%.
Bellhop was originally designed by Barber and Osgerby for the new London Design Museum’s Parabola restaurant and members’ lounge in an exclusive blue colorway. Now, design lovers are able invite this design into their own home. This is Barber and Osgerby’s sophomore collection with FLOS, succeeding the very popular Tab collection, which is comprised of floor and table lamp models. They are one of the most prominent British design studios, appointed to design the London 2012 Olympic Torch.
