Adria Mother of Pearl Table Lamp with Bamboo Shade - Pearl

This table lamp pairs a deep dome shade with a bottle-shaped base, and both are faced in capiz shell with a soft pearl lustre. Capiz is a thin, translucent shell. Here it is laid in overlapping round discs, like scales, so the surface catches the light even when the lamp is switched off. The shade is bamboo beneath its shell facing, and the full composition is 65% capiz shell, 31% bamboo and 4% iron. The lamp stands 43cm tall and 30cm across, with a shade 20cm tall, which makes it a generous bedside or side table lamp.

We would put it where you sit in the evening: on a bedside table, on a side table beside an armchair, on a console in the hallway or on a deep window sill in the living room. When it is lit, light passes through the shell and every disc shows in the shade, giving a warm, textured glow that suits a quiet evening with a book. It is a lamp for anyone drawn to natural materials and pale, layered rooms, and it sits easily beside stone, linen and textured ceramics. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms only.

It takes an E27 bulb up to 40W, an LED up to 7W or a CFL up to 9W. No bulb is included, so have one ready. The switch sits on the cord, which runs 150cm in cream, so you can turn it on without reaching under the shade. At 1.6KG it is easy to lift and move between rooms. Capiz is a natural shell, and natural shell varies in tone from one disc to the next. To style it, give it room. Set it on a window sill or console with a low bowl or a vase of tall stems beside it, and let the dome shape carry the look.
