Trosvelle Metal Hurricane Lantern 37.2cm - Clear

The Trosvelle is a metal hurricane lantern: a rounded, barrel-shaped cage of vertical metal strips in a soft sand-beige, wrapped around a tall cylinder of clear glass. It stands 37.2cm tall and 32.4cm across, a generous size that holds its own on a sideboard, a hearth or the floor beside a chair. The glass chimney shields a candle flame from draughts, while the open gaps between the strips let its warm light through to the room.

We see it as a lantern for the rooms where you wind down: a living room, a dining table set for guests, a bedroom chest of drawers or a wide windowsill. Its neutral colour sits comfortably with pale woods, linen and stone, and it suits pared-back and coastal schemes as readily as a warm, earthy palette. Group it with a second lantern or a few smaller candles on a mantelpiece for an evening display, or let it stand alone on a console table where its rounded outline can be seen across the room. As a piece of home decor, it belongs indoors, where it brings a soft focal point to a quiet corner.

The frame is metal and the chimney is glass, and the lantern weighs 3.02KG, so it has a solid, settled feel when you lift it and sits firmly wherever you set it. The sand-beige colour runs evenly along every strip, and the strips curve inwards at the top and base, so the outline reads as one soft, rounded form. Glass wipes clean with a soft, damp cloth, and a dry cloth run along the metal strips lifts the dust that gathers between them. Choose a candle with room to spare inside the glass, and the lantern will give you a calm, flickering glow on the evenings you want it most.
