Lafleur Battery Portable Lamp

Marc Sadler stretches Slamp's signature technopolymers into Lafleur, a delicate, hand-moulded bloom in temperature-controlled Lentiflex. The cordless lamp pairs a matte magnetic base (white or black) with a metal disc that anchors it firmly on a table, and runs up to 60 hours on a charge. Available in prisma and velvet finishes, and as a wall light.

Marc Sadler is one of the most decorated figures in Italian industrial design: born in Austria and trained at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Milan-based designer has received the Compasso d'Oro — Italy's highest design honour — multiple times, with a career built on pioneering work in plastics and composite materials. That material expertise meets a natural partner in Slamp, the Roman lighting house founded by Roberto Ziliani in 1994, whose patented technopolymers allow shapes glass could never achieve. In Lafleur, Lentiflex is warmed and shaped by hand so each petal-like shade carries subtle individual variation, like a real flower.

Because Lafleur is rechargeable and fully cordless, it moves wherever the evening goes: dinner table, balcony rail, bathtub edge or bedside. In smaller city apartments this flexibility is invaluable — one lamp can serve the dining nook at 8 pm and the nightstand at 11. The magnetic base snaps confidently onto its disc, so it survives daily relocation with grace. We compare it with other favourites in our guide to the best portable designer lamps.

Style it in clusters of two or three for a centrepiece, or let a single bloom soften a shelf. Explore more portable lamps, see the rest of the SLAMP collection, or browse all designs by Marc Sadler.
