Lampshades: enveloping light

When it's bad outside, I light a pretty lamp for the light it gives off and the feeling of well-being it gives.

For indoors and outdoors

Without annoying cables: battery-powered lampshades have the advantage of being mobile. They look like a modern lantern that can be placed anywhere, under the pergola in the garden, on the balcony or in the living room.

Indoors

Lamps in warm tones look particularly decorative on the desk or shelf. As sources of indirect light, they also highlight the objects around them less blatantly than a spotlight.

To enhance a reading corner, there's nothing better than freestanding luminaires projecting their cone of light at an ideal height, one that allows you to read or write.

Hanging lamps with shades are most reminiscent of umbrellas, as they give the impression of protecting you. They are simple and, in contrast to spotlights, provide a soft light. Use them, for example, above a dining room table or to light a specific area.

Whether to illuminate or to give off an enveloping atmosphere, lamps with shades make me feel at ease.
