Sailing Lantern is a portable, rechargeable lantern. It is engineered to be easy to maintain, disassemble and repair, and designed to last a lifetime. Overview — A collaboration between Sir Jony Ive of LoveFrom and Gen Tarao of BALMUDA, who share a reverence for design and the creative process as well as an obsessive attention to detail, whether an exterior feature or interior detail — The project began with Jony’s preoccupation with the quality of LED light that could express the gentle, diffused glow of a candle but with a range between a warm yellow glow and a cool white light — Combines LED technology with classic design, inspired by the glass and cage construction of historic nautical lanterns and Fresnel lamps — Packaging is a structurally efficient paper cylinder that follows the geometry of the lantern.
