"If a good roommate brings warmth and harmony to a space, then the Rumee 220 Portable Lamp does the same - only through light. As Louis Poulsen's award-winning Designer of the Year, Gabriel Tan reimagines what it means for light to feel personal. How can an object that performs the simple act of illumination also create an emotional connection? With Rumee for Louis Poulsen, Tan explores that question through gentle form, intuitive function, and a quiet sense of companionship."
""Gabriel Tan has successfully embraced Louis Poulsen's lighting philosophy, Design to Shape Light, through an emotionally appealing design," shares Monique Faber, Chief Design Officer at Louis Poulsen. "With Rumee, he upholds the proud tradition of maintaining high lighting standards while incorporating a distinctive Gabriel Tan design style." Together, they remind us that our connection to objects can extend beyond their function - into feeling, familiarity, and quiet companionship."
"As a portable lamp, it has an intuitive shape - one that makes you instinctively reach for the slender half of its stem, while the wider base confidently grounds it once placed. As you carry it, your eye naturally traces its soft, fluid curves, inspired by the silhouette of a broad-brimmed hat, inviting curiosity about what lies beneath. Its name, partially derived from the Danish word for room ( rum), speaks to"
Rumee 220 Portable Lamp evokes companionship through gentle form, tactile details, and warm illumination. Gabriel Tan collaborated with Louis Poulsen to merge emotional design intuition with the Design to Shape Light philosophy while maintaining high lighting standards. The lamp’s silhouette pairs a slender, organic stem with a grounded wider base for intuitive handling and touch. Soft, fluid curves reference a broad-brimmed hat and invite curiosity about the light source. The name Rumee, related to the Danish word rum for room, emphasizes closeness and portability so the lamp can stay near as a bedside reading companion.
