British lighting brand Pooky Lighting and renowned designers The Novogratz have collaborated on an outdoor lighting collection. This vibrant collection features 14 signature lighting pieces. Thanks to playful, bold colors and innovative rechargeable technology, reimagining how outdoor spaces can be illuminated with style is easier than ever.

Ironically, despite the growing demand for colorful, design-forward lighting solutions, the outdoor lighting market has historically been dominated by traditional metallic brass and bronze finishes—a significant gap that innovative brands are now racing to fill. Recognizing this industry-wide missed opportunity for chromatic expression, Pooky Lighting sought out The Novogratz, whose celebrated color-forward approach to design made them an ideal creative partner. Given the remarkable success of rechargeable lighting products since entering the U.S. market in early 2024, this venture into colorful, cord-free outdoor lighting represents their shared commitment to how color and innovative technology can transform spaces

“We love how this collection encourages people to accessorize their outdoor space in the same creative way as their indoor rooms,” said Jo Plant, chief creative officer, Pooky Lighting. “With Pooky’s innovation in rechargeables, the old rules of lighting no longer apply—there’s no reason why you can’t have a statement standing lamp next to your favorite lounger, or colorful table lamps and lamp shades over your outdoor dining table. We’re celebrating the joys of outdoor living and who better to do that with than The Novogratz, who love color and pattern as much as we do.”

The design process brought together Pooky’s craftsmanship expertise with The Novogratz’s bold aesthetic sensibility. Drawing color inspiration from The Novogratz’s Antonine fabric design, the team crafted a palette that feels simultaneously fresh and sophisticated. The collaboration resulted in pieces that showcase a harmonious blend of traditional lantern silhouettes with contemporary color applications.

The standout Stefan lanterns, available in three complementary sizes, represent the collection’s innovative spirit with its hidden rechargeable technology.

The showstopping Talulah basket pendant lights deliver dramatic impact to outdoor dining areas, while the entire collection features a distinctive color palette, including a vintage pink rarely found in outdoor products. Each piece showcases the practical advantages of rechargeable design, liberating outdoor spaces from power source constraints.

“We couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with Pooky, drawing inspiration from our love of vibrant colors and outdoor living with hints of mid-century design,” said Cortney Novogratz, principal and founder of The Novogratz. “The collection beautifully blends our colorful, contemporary style with Pooky’s elegant twist on traditional lighting, resulting in pieces that feel both fresh and sophisticated. What I love most is how we’ve brought much-needed color to outdoor spaces—especially that vintage-toned pink—and the way the cordless technology allows these stunning designs to enhance any gathering without limitations.”
