Innovations illuminate the outdoors in style
NEW SPHERE
Cassina takes its popular Bollicosa light fixture outdoors with the Bollicosa Nautilus suspension lamp. It retains the indoor version’s delicate shape and bubbly, opaque surface—but polypropylene rope wraps the sphere and complements the brand’s woven outdoor furniture. Battery-operated LED bulbs power the fixture, which comes in a range of sizes and color options. Sold at Poltrona Frau in Georgetown. cassina.com; poltronafrau.com
WARM GLOW
The solar-powered Roam lantern by Les Jardins emits soft white light via an ASB (autonomous solar bulb) and solar panel or a USB rechargeable battery. The dimmable light lasts eight hours, turning on automatically at nightfall and off at sunrise. Available in natural or weathered teak. lesjardins.solar
HOT SEAT
The BEEM Infrared Double Pendant Heater does double-duty, serving as a heater and a light. Made by Belgian-based Heatsail exclusively for RH, the fixture is crafted in minimalist style out of weather-resistant, powder-coated aluminum. It incorporates high-radiance ceramic heating elements (with two heat settings) and eight dimmable halogen bulbs. Intended for sheltered outdoor use. rh.com
FULL SERVICE
Pavilion H, Kettal’s freestanding aluminum pergola, brings indoor comforts—including sophisticated lighting systems—outside. Operable from a switch on the structure, available LED fixtures
range from the Outdoor Ceiling Lamp to the Up and Down Spotlight. Recessed Mini Dots and track lights (both pictured above) are integrated into the pavilion’s framework. Available through Contemporaria in Potomac. kettal.com; contemporaria.com
SMOOTH TRANSITION
The Terraced Nested Lantern by Hammerton Studio was designed in transitional style to suit a range of architectural looks. The fixture boasts an interior hand-blown glass diffuser and comes in clear seeded or blown glass, in a choice of three durable, VOC-free outdoor finishes; Textured Black is pictured with clear seeded glass. hammerton.com
