A-Emotional Light Hipatia Table Lamp

The A-Emotional Light Hipatia Table Lamp, designed by Arturo Álvarez, is a portable table lamp that pairs a contemporary tapered silhouette with a lantern-inspired handle. Handmade in Spain, Hipatia is intended as a cordless ambient light suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Hipatia’s form narrows from a wider base to a smaller circular top, its shade defined by dense vertical pleats that create a rhythmic, textured profile. The slim wire handle and smooth metal top give the lamp a calm, architectural presence while remaining effortlessly portable.

Construction combines a semi-transparent pleated mesh shade with solid metal top-cap and pedestal base finished in light, neutral tones. The combination of metal and fine mesh is a considered play of materials, emphasising craft and durability in an outdoor-capable product.

An internal LED source is diffused by the mesh to deliver soft, patterned ambient light; the integrated rechargeable battery and supplied charging cable make Hipatia cordless in use. The lamp’s IP64 rating confirms suitability for sheltered outdoor settings and its stable circular base supports table placement or temporary hanging by the handle.

Lighting Design Online recommends Hipatia when you need a portable, design-led ambient light that performs reliably in both interior and sheltered exterior settings. We provide clarity on the lamp’s rechargeable function, IP performance and handmade construction so you can specify with confidence and achieve a calm, well-balanced outcome.
