Portable and poised for adventure, Piknik is a contemporary light for a modern lifestyle. Untethered and unbounded, Piknik will go where you go. A versatile light, it is happy indoors and outdoors, at home, in a restaurant and going on a trip. Take Piknik for a quiet read in a cosy corner or enjoy its glowing company when dining al fresco on a warm summer eve. Bring Piknik to the beach for a barbecue or to a campfire singalong at a backwoods campout. Wherever it goes, Piknik’s handsome profile and adaptable application will create an intimate atmosphere and a smart impression.

Piknik is the end result of a competition organised for young designers by the design collective Surtido and LZF. Reflecting on present-day lighting needs, participating designers were asked to create a cordless and rechargeable lamp that made use of LZF’s wood veneer. With their appealing Piknik design, the worthy winners were Belén Moratalla, Cristina Planells and Inelén Ortín (originally part of the former design studio Macalula).

With Piknik, the designers set about creating a useful, aesthetic and modest light. Piknik’s rechargeable battery will keep going for up to eight hours. Moreover, the light incorporates touch sensor dimming and a USB connector for charging a smartphone. A tubular piece of wood veneer, available in ten colours, envelops Piknik’s LED light source and its metallic base and carry handle are available in four different finishes.

Piknik’s cleverly designed lampshade hangs freely. Elegant and expressive, the shade, when encouraged by a gentle breeze or gesture, will move to and fro in a relaxing see-saw-like manner. In the same way as a flickering candlelight, Piknik’s glow shimmers and winks, accentuating the lamp’s contours and form.

Innovative, handmade and complete with regard to every detail, Piknik exemplifies LZF’s continuous and earnest desire to create beautiful lights that befit a modern-day way of life.
