Corner Light was made to be handled. To be carried freely from table to terrace, counter to courtyard, moving with the light and daily rhythms of a space. And building a slowly deepening warmth with every touch.
The Corner Light was created by London architectural lighting studio There’s Light in collaboration with NEOZ. The design began at Tate Modern’s Corner Bar, where low-level lighting was used to create intimacy within a large, open space. Cordless and portable, the lamp brings together hand-blown frosted glass, aged brass and a warm 1800K glow, with an IP52 rating and three dimming levels suited to both indoor and covered outdoor settings.
That same intimacy gives the Corner Light a natural place across hospitality and residential interiors. Compact and cordless, the lamp can move between tables, consoles and seating areas while maintaining a distinct presence. Its materials are designed to change with time rather than remain visually fixed.

The Corner Light’s Living Brass Finish
Corner Light’s aged brass base has an unsealed living finish. Exposure to air, touch and the surrounding environment will gradually deepen the colour and create subtle variations across the surface. Areas handled more frequently may develop differently from those left untouched, giving each lamp its own character.
This process is part of the intended design. To preserve the existing patina, the aged brass should be cleaned only with a soft, dry cloth. Polishes and chemical or abrasive cleaners may alter the finish and should be avoided. The frosted glass diffuser can be cleaned separately using a clean, damp microfibre cloth, without harsh cleaning agents or abrasive pads.
Although the diffuser appears delicate, the hand-blown glass has been created for regular use in hospitality and residential settings. Normal care is still important, particularly when moving the lamp or removing the diffuser for cleaning. If the glass is ever damaged, the diffuser can be replaced on its own, so a single mark never means retiring the whole lamp.
Corner Light, a quiet centrepiece for evenings at the table
Positioning Corner Light in Restaurants, Bars and Hotels
On restaurant and bar tables, the 1800K light creates a warm focal point that doesn’t attempt to illuminate the room. The omnidirectional glow remains consistent from every side, making the lamp well-suited to shared tables and changing seating arrangements. Its low scale also helps maintain open sightlines between guests.
In hotel lobbies and lounges, Corner Light can bring definition to individual seating groups within a larger space. Positioned on side tables or low tables, the lamp introduces a more intimate layer of light while complementing the richer materials often found in upscale hospitality interiors. Cordless operation allows staff to move and redeploy each lamp as layouts change throughout the day.

Styling Corner Light at Home and Outdoors
In residential settings, Corner Light can serve as a hero design object without overwhelming the surrounding interior. On a dining table, the warm glow draws attention towards the centre of the setting. On a console, the sculptural glass and aged brass give the lamp presence even when switched off.
The low light and portable format also work naturally beside a bed, where the three dimming levels allow the atmosphere to be adjusted as needed. The IP52-rated design suits covered outdoor use, on terraces and verandahs sheltered from direct rain. It is not intended for prolonged exposure to wet weather.
Across each setting, Corner Light balances practical portability with materials that reward closer attention. The glass carries and softens the light, while the aged brass records the life taking place around it.
In time, every Corner Light becomes particular to its place, carrying the warmth of shared evenings in both glow and patina, the same intimacy first shaped at Tate Modern’s Corner Bar.
