Jony Ive<\/a>‘s studio LoveFrom<\/a> has collaborated with Japanese manufacturer Balmuda to create a nautical lantern<\/a>, driven by the designer’s own struggles to find a portable LED light for his yacht.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the studio, the Sailing Lantern<\/a> combines the contemporary convenience of a rechargeable battery and the heavy-duty construction needed for a ship lamp.<\/p>\n

Ive approached Balmuda<\/a> founder Gen Terao to help him create the light after the lifelong sailing enthusiast struggled to find a modern LED torch to use in his yacht.<\/p>\n

“I would have just bought a lantern for my yacht \u2013 I wanted to, but there isn’t anything on the market,” he told Boat International<\/a>. “So instead, I spent two years hard at work designing it.”<\/p>\n

The resulting design hearkens back to the construction of a traditional Fresnel lamp<\/a>, with a faceted shade used to project its light across the seas and a metal lens guard protecting the glass from impact.<\/p>\n

But here, the archetype is reimagined using modern marine-grade stainless steel with gleaming gold detailing and a textured polyester strap designed to\u00a0resist sun, salt and oil.<\/p>\n
