Where Design Meets Invisible Innovation

The best design isn’t just beautiful – it works effortlessly in the background. That’s the philosophy behind the new Villeroy & Boch Seoul and Seoul Micro rechargeable lamps, where refined European styling meets smart, unobtrusive technology.

Designed to create atmosphere anywhere, both cordless lamps move seamlessly from indoor dining settings to outdoor entertaining spaces, hospitality venues and commercial environments. Their clean aluminium construction delivers timeless appeal, while the included charging plate eliminates the need for a visible USB charging port, preserving the lamp’s sleek, uninterrupted silhouette.

Every detail has been designed with ease of use in mind. An intuitive touch sensor enables stepless dimming and effortless switching between warm 2200K and brighter 3000K light, allowing users to tailor the ambience throughout the day and evening. With up to 79 hours of runtime from a 6.5-hour charge, Seoul and Seoul Micro deliver exceptional cordless freedom. An IP65 dust and rain-resistant rating, together with a replaceable integrated battery, ensures each lamp combines lasting performance with complete portability.

For larger spaces, the optional remote control unlocks even greater convenience. A single remote can simultaneously control an unlimited number of compatible lamps, adjusting brightness and colour temperature across an entire venue while the locking function helps maintain consistent lighting settings, making it an ideal solution for restaurants, hotels, bars and event spaces.

It’s a perfect example of technology that enhances design rather than competing with it, delivering flexibility, ambience and functionality in one elegant lighting collection.
