Nevis Medium Rechargeable Floor Lamp by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

Nevis Medium takes the proportions of a classic shaded lamp and stretches them to 49 inches. A slim stem rises from a round weighted base and ends in a small tapered shade that lights the space below. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so you charge it over USB-C and put it wherever the room needs a glow. It is wet rated, which means it is as comfortable on a covered patio as it is beside an armchair.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin designs lighting that feels familiar the moment you see it. With Nevis he started from the simple lampshade and removed everything that was not needed: no cord, no bulky base, no extra ornament. What remains is a tapered cone shade, a stem as thin as a pencil line and a flat disc that keeps it steady. The shade is the character of the piece. It reads as quiet and traditional in shape, yet entirely modern in how it works.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Beside a reading chair, at the end of a sofa, in a bedroom corner without a spare outlet, or on a terrace for dinner. It also suits rentals and staged rooms, where there is no wiring to work with.

Who This Is Not For

If you want a lamp that never needs recharging, a plug-in or hardwired floor lamp is the better choice. Nevis gives about 259 lumens of warm, soft light, which suits ambience and light reading rather than demanding task work.
