&Tradition Flowerpot VP9 Portable Table Lamp | Verner Panton | 14 Colors | Rechargeable

The Flowerpot VP9 Portable Table Lamp is Verner Panton's 1968 icon set free. While the rest of the Flowerpot family is hardwired into ceilings and plugged into walls, the VP9 is built from polycarbonate and runs on a rechargeable battery — a cordless, go-anywhere Flowerpot that puts Panton's chromatic genius wherever you need light. At Ø 6.2" × H 11.6" (without shade) and just 1.7 lbs, it is effortlessly portable, available in 14 colorways, and IP44 rated for use both indoors and out.

The VP9 transforms how you use the Flowerpot in your home and beyond. On a dining table, it replaces candles with a warm, intimate 2700K LED glow that stays bright for hours. In a living room, it sits alongside books and objects as a sculptural piece of light that can be dimmed to a barely-there ambience for evenings in. On a terrace or balcony, it provides beautiful cordless outdoor lighting without the cords, cables, or commitment. Its three-level dimmer gives you precise control — full brightness, mid-level warmth, or the softest possible glow — at the press of a button. At $360–$515, it is the most accessible and flexible way to bring Panton's most beloved design into your life.

The VP9 is engineered as carefully as it is designed. The polycarbonate construction is both lightweight and resilient — it handles the bumps and movements of daily life without complaint. The integrated LED (three dimmable levels) delivers warm, flattering light at every setting. The 78.7" USB charging cord ensures you can power it from virtually anywhere. The IP44 certification confirms it can handle splashes and light outdoor exposure. The steel dimmer button adds a touch of material contrast to the polycarbonate body. Available in 14 colorways including bold Cobalt Blue, warm Mustard, graphic Matte Black, and the premium metallic Brass and Chrome options for those who want the full Flowerpot luxury experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the battery last?
A: Battery life varies by dimmer level. At full brightness, runtime is shorter; at the lowest setting, you can expect significantly longer use between charges. We recommend a full charge before first use.

Q: Can the VP9 be used outdoors?
A: Yes — its IP44 rating means it is splash-resistant and suitable for covered outdoor settings such as a terrace, pergola, or balcony. It should not be left in direct rain and must be stored indoors when not in use.

Q: How does the VP9 differ from the VP10 pendant?
A: The VP9 is a freestanding, rechargeable portable table lamp — no wiring or installation needed. The VP10 is a hardwired ceiling pendant. The VP9 is the right choice if you want flexibility and portability; the VP10 is the right choice for a permanent, ceiling-mounted installation.

Q: Why are the Brass and Chrome versions priced higher?
A: The Brass and Chrome finishes use premium metallic materials and more complex finishing processes than the standard polycarbonate colorways, accounting for the price difference.

Q: How is it charged?
A: Via the included 78.7" USB charging cord. Connect to any standard USB power source — a wall adapter, laptop, or portable battery pack all work.

Q: Is the dimmer easy to use?
A: Yes — the steel dimmer button cycles through three levels with each press: 100% / mid-level / lowest setting. One more press switches it off.
