IKEA Just Dropped Limited-Edition Lamps for Under $20 (They’re Outdoor-Friendly, Too!)
It’s been a particularly grueling winter, so naturally I can’t stop fantasizing about spring. I’ve had enough of being holed up in my apartment all day; once the weather warms up, I’m practically going to live outside. The product geniuses at IKEA are clearly on a similar wavelength, because the iconic home retailer just launched two new limited-edition SOLVINDEN lamps that’ll set the mood for outdoor hangs and make a style statement indoors in the meantime. Oh, and they’re both under $20.
What Are IKEA’s SOLVINDEN LED Decorative Table Lamps?
These new releases are a stylish expansion of the editor-loved SOLVINDEN light collection that’s geared for both indoor and outdoor use. Designed in unique silhouettes, the lamps bring a sculptural element wherever they go (which is pretty much anywhere, as they’re battery-operated).
The light green SOLVINDEN table lamp is a traditional lantern with a convenient carrying handle — perfect for toting from room to room, or outdoors into your backyard or on your balcony. Its striped, powder-coated steel body casts a cozy, intimate glow that looks like a modern art piece.
Measuring 12 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide, the lamp packs major aesthetic appeal into a fairly compact piece. Pop in the requisite two AAA batteries (sold separately) and you’re set.
There are no written reviews for the striped SOLVINDEN lamp yet (it’s brand new!), but it does already have a five-star rating, which is a great sign of what’s to come.
If you’re partial to an ultra-modern aesthetic, then this mesh SOLVINDEN lamp delivers. It’s super sleek in white, powder-coated steel. Plus, it features an architectural globe-shaped silhouette and airy mesh base that softly diffuses light for a warm, low-key ambiance.
Its compact proportions (8×5 inches) make it an easy addition to any room or outdoor space, too. “I just want to keep looking at it,” shared one IKEA shopper. “It looks so nice in my bathroom on the counter at night in place of a candle.”
Unlike the other SOLVINDEN lamp, this mesh version runs on rechargeable batteries (which IKEA sells separately) and is powered up via the built-in USB-C charging port.
TLDR: IKEA’s new SOLVINDEN lamps are the stylish home accents my apartment is missing right now, and they’ll set the scene for sunny outdoor gatherings in the (hopefully near) future. IKEA lamps come and go, so I’d grab these limited-edition finds before they’re gone.
