Editor's Pick
Outdoor lighting isn't just functional anymore. This quirky outdoor lamp mimics indoor style and lights up summer nights.
While it still feels like we’re just glimpsing the summer weather to come on the coast, I’ve been doing everything I can to spend more time outside. We’re just days away from the longest day of the year—which also means we’re just days away from the days slowly getting shorter again. Thankfully, the playful Plis lamp by Vibia turns backyard lighting inside out. Standing at six feet tall, it’s topped with a weatherproof polyethylene shade that mimics a classic indoor floor lamp—a witty way to brighten up those late summer nights.Plis lamp by Vibia, $3,160, available in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton at Lightform, lightform.ca
