Pooky Lighting & The Novogratz Announce Outdoor Lighting Collection

May 7, 2025  by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Designer Weekly, Industry   

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 US 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 accessorise their outdoor space in the same creative way as their indoor rooms. 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 favourite lounger, or colourful 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 colour and pattern as much as we do.” Jo Plant, Chief Creative Officer, Pooky Lighting

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. Their collaboration resulted in pieces that showcase a harmonious blend of traditional lantern silhouettes with contemporary color applications.

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. 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.—Cortney Novogratz, Principal & Founder of The Novogratz"
