Numbra lighting collection is the first collaboration between &Tradition and Japanese designer Teruhiro Yanagihara, introducing the TY1 Pendant and TY3 Portable Lamp. The TY1 features a 122cm linear form constructed from lacquered oak, tumbled aluminium, stainless steel and an acrylic diffuser. It incorporates a 15W LED light source producing 700 lumens at a warm 2400K color temperature, with dimmable operation and a design intended for disassembly using FSC-certified wood and water-based lacquer.
The TY3 Portable Lamp adapts the same material palette into a compact cordless format measuring 25.5cm tall. It combines oak, aluminium and sandblasted acrylic with a rechargeable battery that delivers up to 10 hours of illumination. A three-step dimmer and magnetic USB charging system support portable use across indoor and outdoor settings. Pricing and availability for the Numbra series are available through &Tradition.
