The lamps in all their glory. Photo: Chloe Anello If you’ve read any of our Strategist editor hauls, you’ll know that our writers and editors buy a lot of stuff, and even though we think carefully about each thing that goes into our carts, there are still standouts. To close out the year, we’ve asked our staffers to write about the best thing they bought in the past 12 months. Today, Chloe Anello on the one cordless lamp she now carries from room to room.
I thought I’d be stuck in the dark until I spoke with Felix Burrichter, founder of PIN-UP magazine, who raved about his Tobias Grau Salt & Pepper lamps. “I’m obsessed with cordless lights. They’re the future,” he told me. I was intrigued, but I forgot about them until actor Alan Cumming told me about his portable lamp not long after: “We take it everywhere around the house — the deck, our kitchen, wherever. You can pick it up just like a glass.
Once on, the lamp gave off enough light for me to read a book without straining my eyes or see what I was stitching on one of my embroidery projects. I used it to check my black-haired dog for ticks after a walk through a wooded area. I talked about it nonstop, showing it off to every person who came over. My sister-in-law complimented it within just a few minutes of entering my apartment, while my mom called the lamp “very charming.
