Offering an elegant combination of different rounded and curvaceous forms, the VP4 is defined by two spun metal hemispheres that diffuse a concealed light source. Perched on a chromed steel base, the lacquered steel shade comes in either matt black or white with a matching cable. Easily adjustable despite its geometric structure, the Flowerpot VP4 table lamp is the perfect complement to any modern home. The Flowerpot VP4 condenses the pop spirit of Verner Panton into a lower silhouette, perfect for punctuating an interior with subtlety. Round, cheerful and instantly recognizable, it adds a refined graphic presence without ever dominating the space. The iconic design is based on the precise interlocking of two Steel half-spheres. A simple geometry that has gained cult status, capturing light and diffusing it harmoniously. Between warm minimalism and seventies charm, the Flowerpot crosses trends with obvious elegance. Designed for everyday use, this table lamp masks the light source for visual comfort. The lower dome creates a downward shadow, while the upper dome acts as an upward-facing reflector. The result is a soft, useful indirect light, ideal for a desk, console or bedside table. Verner Panton, design visionary: A major figure in 20th-century Scandinavian design, Verner Panton revolutionized the art of living through his formal freedom and his taste for immersive interiors. The Flowerpot embodies this energy, a piece designed to diffuse light with joy and intelligence. Treat yourself to a design icon and let the light create a delicate and lasting joy in your home.

FAQs
What type of light bulb does the Flowerpot VP4 Table Lamp use?
The lamp uses a standard E27 screw-in bulb. It is recommended to use an LED bulb for energy efficiency and longevity. Please refer to the product specifications for the maximum wattage allowed.
How do I clean the lamp?
Gently wipe the lacquered steel shade and chromed steel base with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the surface finish.
Is the light output bright enough for reading?
The Flowerpot VP4 provides soft, indirect light. While pleasant for ambiance, it may not be sufficient as the sole light source for detailed reading. Many users find it ideal for ambient light or gentle bedside illumination, complementing a brighter reading lamp if needed.
What is the difference between the VP3 and VP4 models?
The VP4 is the table lamp version, featuring a larger, more expansive shade designed to sit on surfaces like desks or tables. The VP3 is also a table lamp but often refers to the smaller version, or sometimes the pendant light, depending on the specific naming convention. This guide specifically focuses on the VP4 table lamp with its distinct dual-hemisphere design.
Can I use this lamp outdoors?
No, the &Tradition Flowerpot VP4 Table Lamp is designed for indoor use only and is not weatherproof.

The dimensions vary slightly by specific model and color, but generally, the VP4 has a diameter of approximately 23 cm and a height of around 35 cm. Please refer to the detailed product specifications for exact measurements.
Does the lamp come with a bulb?
Typically, the lamp is sold separately from the light bulb. Please check the product listing or packaging to confirm if a bulb is included.
