Dezeen Showroom: designer Tianning Zhao highlights the beauty of both light and shadow in this portable and versatile lamp, which can be used indoors and outdoors.

The Astral table lamp has a petite form, with a domed white diffuser atop a smoky translucent body.

The lamp emits a warm glow that Zhao said is meant to evoke the feeling of a candle – enhancing rather than drowning out the evening's atmosphere.

"Astral creates a serene lit environment which helps people appreciate the beauty of both light and shadows at night," said Tianning Zhao.

"In the absence of daylight, foliage and bodies of water capture subtly reflected light," he continued. "I enjoy this soft and quiet light in the evening which feels as if its illumination is growing from the darkness"

The Astral lamp is made of polyethylene plastic and lit by two LED rings. It is portable and can be charged wirelessly.
