Studio Calathea to Exhibit at Leading Outdoor Conference

Orlando, Fla. (June 6, 2022) – As Orlando-based Studio Calathea launches its unique and stylish solar lighting, the company will be displaying at one of the state’s leading industry conferences.

The Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo, organized by Florida and Alabama RV Park & Campground Association will bring more than 500 RV parks and suppliers to Daytona Beach June 6-8.

“As we continue to evolve, we look forward to being the go-to source for the future of portable solar lighting,” says Teresa Guastella, founder, Studio Calathea. “We believe this group of companies needs our products to ensure the safety of their customers while cutting the cord to their existing lighting systems.”

Over the pandemic, Studio Calathea transformed from a traditional live event and production design agency to an exclusive distributor of unique portable outdoor solar lighting lanterns. The company made a couple of design changes with the manufacturer and brought the new product to market in 2021.

Since then, Guastella has been working closely with Product Quickstart, an engineering firm out of Atlanta to develop the next generation of outdoor solar lighting, which will be unveiled at the expo.

The new versatile solar portable lights offer hours of light on a single charge through their new patent pending designs. The lights can be customized for branding or personalization, offer changing color tones, accessories and much more.

“Our team of experts is revolutionizing what solar can offer in terms of durability, functionality, and form without compromising the appeal and aesthetic, an area we have lacked in the solar marketplaces,” Guastella says. “I hope our products will motivate others to utilize the benefits of nature through products that are powered by the light of day.”

Currently, the portable solar lights can be found online at StudioCalathea.com, Walmart, Wayfair, and HomeRoots and in stores at several independent retailers
