Description
Designed to deliver light without dominating its surroundings, the HAY Host Portable Lamp is a refined, minimalist lighting solution for both indoor and outdoor settings. Its slim, space-efficient profile allows it to sit neatly on tables, shelves, ledges or sideboards, while its downward-directed glow creates a soft pool of illumination beneath. The result is a calm, atmospheric light that enhances a space rather than competing with it.
Compact and lightweight, Host is built for flexibility and movement. The cordless design is rechargeable via USB-C, offering complete freedom to position it wherever light is needed - from dining tables and kitchen islands to terraces and balconies. With an IP44 rating, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it ideal for year-round versatility.
A thoughtfully integrated magnet in the base allows the lamp to attach securely to metal surfaces, including steel outdoor tables and shelving. For non-magnetic surfaces such as wood, ceramic, or stone, a flat steel base is included to ensure stability wherever it is placed. This intelligent detail makes Host particularly adaptable, whether used as a single accent light or arranged in multiples for a more immersive ambience.
The lamp pairs exceptionally well with the HAY Palissade collection, sharing the same carefully considered colour palette and the ability to attach magnetically to metal table surfaces. Used together, they create a cohesive and contemporary outdoor setting.
Available in two heights and various colours, the HAY Host Portable Lamp works beautifully on its own for subtle illumination or grouped to define larger shared spaces. It is a practical yet design-led lighting solution that balances portability, durability and understated Scandinavian style.
