Audo Copenhagen Torso Portable Table Lamp

The Audo Copenhagen Torso Portable Table Lamp brings that soft, ambient candlelight feeling without the open flame or wax drips. Designed by Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen as a miniature version of their full-size Torso lamp, this petite design draws inspiration from childhood homes filled with treasures shaped by human hands. At just 20cm high and 12cm in diameter, it's genuinely portable and intimate - perfect for tabletops, bedside surfaces, or anywhere you want cozy lighting without cords dictating placement. The linen canvas shade with a brass-plated button on top lets you turn it on and off with a simple tap, and the 3-step touch dimmer gives you control over light intensity (full brightness, medium, or low) depending on whether you need reading light or just ambient glow. The concealed USB charger at the base makes recharging straightforward, and it's compatible with Audo's Charging Board for convenient multi-device charging.

What makes the Torso genuinely useful beyond just being cute is how it replaces candles while providing more practical, controllable light. Perfect for dinner tables where you want that intimate candlelight atmosphere but don't want to worry about flames near kids or pets, or for bedside tables where you can carry it to the bathroom at night without fumbling for switches. The included G4 bulb puts out 150 lumens at warm 2700K - enough light to be functional but soft enough to maintain that cozy ambiance. The portable nature means you can start it on your desk for evening work, move it to your bedside for reading, then carry it wherever you need a bit of light without being tethered to outlets. Important to note: switch it off when charging and don't leave it plugged in while using to preserve battery life. The linen shade creates that soft, diffused glow that's easy on the eyes, and the compact size means it doesn't take up excessive space on crowded nightstands or small side tables.

Audo Copenhagen was formed by uniting MENU, by Lassen, and The Audo, creating a brand that collaborates with studios like Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen who bridge art and design through honest, functional objects. Founded in 2016 by Mads Sætter-Lassen and Emil Krøyer in Copenhagen, the studio creates furniture and interior objects that showcase their cultural understanding and Danish design heritage. Their collaboration began at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and evolved into creating projects that reveal their focus through consideration of material properties and tectonic details. The Torso Portable Lamp reflects their approach of making conscious design choices visible rather than concealing them, creating objects that feel handcrafted and intimate while serving modern needs for cordless, portable lighting.
