Object of Desire: A Good-Looking Lantern from Snow Peak
Where I live, in Maine, power outages are common: from a Nor’Easter, a blizzard, or spring rains. Here, every household has a reliable lantern (or two) for just an occasion, and I’ve been on the lookout for one that casts powerful light when needed and still looks attractive when it’s not.
Enter the Home & Camp Lantern from Snow Peak, purveyors of well-designed outdoor essentials. The lamp is portable, rechargeable (via a USB cord), and—best of all—dimmable. It’s usable at home (or while camping), and, we’d say, good-looking enough to put to work anytime, power outage or no. Take a look.
