Zafferano lights up HostMilano 2025 with the new 1+1 lamp

In hospitality, lighting does more than brighten tables, it sets the tone, supports service, and, when it’s cordless, makes the staff’s life easier. At HostMilano 2025 (17–21 October 2025), Zafferano brought exactly this idea to the fair, presenting 1+1, a new rechargeable portable lamp designed for both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Why 1+1 matters for Ho.Re.Ca.

Zafferano has become a reference name for cordless table lamps, think of how often you see a Poldina in restaurants and hotel lounges. With 1+1, the brand pushes versatility even further: the lamp has a modular stem made of two screwable elements so you can choose two heights (about 25 cm or about 14 cm, always with a 9 cm base). That means one product that works for a romantic table setting, a buffet corner, or a bar counter.

For a restaurant or hotel, that’s very practical: one item in stock, two immediate uses. Easier to order, easier to repurpose when you move from the dining room to the terrace.

Tech features made for professionals

1+1 follows the formula that made Zafferano’s other portables so popular:

• Die-cast aluminum body with polycarbonate diffuser, elegant but robust enough for professional use.

• IP44 protection, so it can stay outside on the patio or in a courtyard.

• LED 3000 K, 150 lm, 2 W, warm, welcoming light, perfect for restaurants.

• Step touch dimmer, just tap the top to raise or lower the light.

• Rechargeable and replaceable lithium battery, about 5 hours of autonomy at full power, and USB-C charging (cable included), no need for special charging bases.

That last point is key: a replaceable battery extends the life of the lamp and makes it more sustainable and cost-effective than cheap, non-serviceable portables.

A color palette for storytelling

The lamp comes in six finishes, white, black, sand, sage green, terracotta and red. That lets venues:

• match the lamp to the interior palette,

• differentiate lounge vs dining areas,

• create quick setups for events and banquets.

And because the colors and proportions follow the style of Zafferano’s “lampes-à-porter” collection, 1+1 sits nicely alongside Poldina, Olivia, Pina & co.: good news for designers and contract buyers who want a consistent look.

Plug-and-play for hotels, restaurants and catering

1+1 is delivered with a USB-C cable and doesn’t force you to adopt a proprietary dock. For seasonal venues, catering services or hotels that already have charging trolleys, that’s a real advantage: fewer accessories to manage, faster turnover, simpler training for the staff.

Why launch it at Host (SEE OUR VIDEO HERE)

HostMilano is where hospitality buyers look for flexible, indoor/outdoor, easy-to-maintain solutions. A portable lamp that changes height, works outside, looks good on the table and charges via USB-C is exactly the sort of “small” innovation that makes daily service smoother.

Bottom line:
1+1 is a compact, elegant, two-height cordless lamp designed to follow the restaurant from the dining room to the terrace. It keeps the recognizable Zafferano look, it’s service-friendly (USB-C, replaceable battery), and it lets venues refresh their lighting without changing the whole setup. In other words: the kind of practical design news that makes sense at Host.
