Ivy Table Battery by Lucie Koldova is the latest addition to the already substantial Ivy family , which is inspired by nature and its life-giving beauty . Just as a plant grows and climbs up the wall of a house , so too does Ivy branch out in different directions . The collection offers a special modular system for a highly innovative take on variable decorative lighting in vertical and horizontal compositions . The new battery-powered table version is somewhat smaller than the original Ivy Table , which makes it easy to move from one place to another and create unique lighting experiences anywhere , anytime . Although it is not protected from direct contact with water , its portability and robust build quality make it suitable for use in outdoor settings . Ivy Table Battery is touch operated and has three brightness settings for just the right amount of light at a given moment . The lithium battery pack powers the light for up to six hours , and charging is by means of induction or a USB connector . The collection comprises a metal frame and handblown glass shades in matte light rose , opal , or smoke grey . Elegant and precise in execution right down to the smallest of details , Ivy is a high-tech lighting concept ideally suited to project and residential applications . The organic collection takes many forms and rightly holds a place among the so-called bespoke installations . The new Ivy Table Battery represents a graceful and flexible lighting object for restaurants and hotels , where it can be unrestrainedly combined in luminous landscapes that change in step with the space around them .
