UMAGE Audrey Move: a portable Scandinavian lamp for lingering evenings

What it is

UMAGE’s Audrey Move is a portable, cordless table lamp, part of the Danish brand’s Audrey family, meant to move with you rather than stay plugged into one corner of a room.

At 26 cm high and 12 cm in diameter, it sits comfortably within arm’s reach of a plate or a book without dominating the table. It weighs 0.7 kg, light enough to carry from the dining room to the balcony, or from a desk to a bedside table, in one hand. UMAGE offers it in two finishes, brass and steel, so it can lean warm and classic or cooler and more industrial depending on the room.

It is aimed at people who like the idea of a lamp as a small, movable object rather than a fixed fitting: renters who cannot install wiring, people who rearrange furniture often, or anyone who wants one lamp that can serve a dinner table on Monday and a garden chair on Saturday.

Why it exists

Most table lamps are tied to a socket, which quietly limits where they can go. Move a lamp to the middle of a table, or out onto a balcony, and you are usually improvising with an extension cable. UMAGE built the Audrey Move around a rechargeable battery specifically to remove that constraint, letting the lamp be placed wherever the light is actually needed rather than wherever the nearest outlet happens to be.

The brand also designs its furniture and lighting to be shipped flat, as part of a broader approach to logistics and durability, and pairs its products with care guides intended to help them last. The Audrey Move fits that same logic: a compact object designed to travel light, both in the box and in daily use.

What matters

The rechargeable battery is the core of the lamp’s appeal. At maximum brightness, UMAGE states the lamp runs for 11 hours before needing a recharge; dimmed down to its lowest setting, that stretches to 122 hours. In practice, that gap matters: run it bright through a single long evening and you will need to recharge fairly soon, but at a low, ambient glow the lamp can sit on a table for days between charges.

Charging is handled through USB-C, with a USB-C to USB-A cable included in the box. The lamp itself does not come with a wall charger; UMAGE specifies that whatever adaptor is used needs to supply 5V DC and can support charging at up to 10W. This means the lamp relies on a charger the owner already has, or buys separately, rather than a proprietary one.

Light quality is defined by three figures worth reading together. The lamp outputs 190 lumens, a modest but usable amount for close-range lighting rather than illuminating a whole room. Its colour temperature sits at 2600K, which is on the warm, amber side of the spectrum, in keeping with a lamp meant for evening atmosphere rather than task lighting. Its colour rendering index of CRI 90 is high for a portable lamp, meaning colours under its light — skin tones, food, fabric — should look close to how they appear in daylight, rather than washed out or shifted.

Materials and build are straightforward: an opal glass shade paired with a steel body and PC (polycarbonate) elements. Opal glass is what gives the light its soft, diffused quality rather than a sharp point source, while the steel structure carries the weight of the design. The lamp carries CE, UKCA and WEEE marks, standard for electronic products sold across Europe and the UK, along with an IP2X rating, which UMAGE’s certification listing ties to indoor use.

Day to day

There is no assembly beyond taking the lamp out of its flat packaging and placing it where it is needed. Because it runs on its internal battery, there is no cable to route or hide; the lamp can be picked up and moved between rooms or outside onto a table without being tethered to a socket.

Recharging means connecting the included USB-C to USB-A cable to a separate 5V DC charger, the kind used for many small electronics, and leaving the lamp to top up.

What the brand says

UMAGE states that the lamp’s rechargeable battery can offer more than a week of light on a single charge, depending on the brightness level chosen, a claim that lines up with the 122-hour figure given for its lowest setting. The brand also describes the lamp as carrying an IP44 rating that it says makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, a claim worth noting alongside the IP2X, indoor-only rating listed among the lamp’s certifications; the two do not fully align.

Designer Søren Ravn Christensen, credited with the piece, describes the lamp as bringing a warm glow to evenings that run long, a description that matches the lamp’s low colour temperature and its role as an object meant to linger on a table rather than light a room from a fixed position.
