comments, “Yes, given the success and positive feedback from the release of Mr. GO! into the lighting market, Koncept plans on introducing more portable lanterns. It’s too early to speak of any specific design plans, however, achieving a high level of functionality and chargeability will be just as important as the aesthetics.”
Pardo of Pablo Design adds, “We are not only continuing to focus on more portable lanterns, but also wireless lighting in general as portable floor- standing fixtures as well as freestanding tables that project light downward to create zones of light. It’s a super-exciting category that promises to transform and elevate our lighting experiences wherever we choose.”
advIce for ShowroomS
Lighting showrooms that aren’t currently carry- ing decorative portable lanterns should consider adding some to their outdoor product mix. The category has the impulse-buy potential of por- table fixtures, in that no electrician is required to power them. With the growing consumer desire for more outdoor living, improved battery & solar technology, and increasing consumer electronic convergence, the demand for portable lanterns will continue to grow. 
