Contemporary design lanterns in metal & glass | Nordic brands

The lanterns are XXL versions of candle holders which, thanks to the addition of handles, become portable. Whether indoors or outdoors, in the garden for example, the decorative lantern provides light as well as a warm atmosphere for gentle evenings. What's more, the lantern offers a self-contained source of light.

The decorative lantern has the advantage of its aesthetic flexibility. During the day it will be a great way to express your taste in design, and at night it can be lit to reveal its practical side. For a street-lamp effect, place your lantern in the garden. Adorn your dining tables with lanterns for a romantic dinner for two, or to accessorise a large table of guests. Buying a wall hook will also allow you to hang your lantern wherever you like: near a window, on an outside wall or in your living room.

The candle lantern consists of a glass container that holds the candle inside, thereby protecting the flame from the wind. Choose a bamboo lantern for a more natural style or a metal lantern for a modern look, and you'll also find glass lantern designs for unequalled elegance. The Cool Team has put together its favourite selections of decorative lanterns so you can find the design that suits you among the collections of brands such as House Doctor and Bloomingville.

For exotic tones, there is for example the natural bamboo lantern from Bloomingville. Its woven bamboo and rattan design makes this model the ideal lamp to hang beside a window while you read on warm summer nights. In the same style, Bloomingville offers its range of lanterns from the Cawo collection. Made from seagrass, their brown tone evokes a natural style. For a traditional look, the design house ventures into terracotta pieces with its Terracotta line. It includes, for example, the Ora Nature models, wall lanterns with a simple yet rustic design. The use of terracotta makes each piece unique and warm. Opt for a more intense light with the Ejlar lantern, a more transparent model that will highlight your path or terrace beautifully.

The Scandinavian brand House Doctor also offers many different styles. The glass and dark metal of the Pamal Antique Black collection gives the piece an industrial, raw signature. Picture several of them strung up around a group of friends on your terrace. The small door that lets you place the candle inside is fairly discreet and blends into the rest of the piece.

Come and discover the full catalogue and choose the decorative lantern that suits you for meticulous design indoors and right through to your garden. Your outdoor space will be even more comfortable and ready to welcome you throughout your evenings and nights.
