Unlimited joy with Portofino in a portable design

In a beautiful union of form and functionality, practicality and beauty, designer Valerio Sommella has created the Portofino table lamp series for Italian lighting manufacturer Nemo Lighting. Sommella was born in Milan and graduated in design from the Politecnico di Milano. Since the beginning of her career and especially after founding her own design studio in 2009, Sommella has built an impressive portfolio of beautiful and unique designs. Sommella sees every project as an opportunity to express ideas through design concepts and strives to make form, material and technology work together as one.

Sommella's founding principles are clearly reflected in the design of the Portofino table lamp, which with its ingenious union of geometric shapes, tall, slender stature and harmonious interplay of lightness and heaviness is a work of art in itself. The frame and screen are made of aluminum with a beautiful surface finish available in several different shades, while the base is made of marble in a matching color. The light source consists of a built-in LED module that is mounted on the underside of the shade so that the light is directed downwards in a beautiful downlight that both creates beautiful lighting and enhances the lamp design. The light is operated via a button at the bottom of the frame. The button also has a built-in dimming function so you can adjust the brightness in three levels. This gives an illumination of 100%, 70% and 35% of total brightness.

The lamp is wirelessly designed so you can enjoy its light wherever you are. The built-in LED light source is charged via the included cable that plugs into the lamp's USB port. After 4.5 hours, the lamp is fully charged and can shine for up to 15 hours.
