Akira 2 Light Table Lamp - Polished Chrome with Black Shade

The Akira is a 610mm-high table lamp built on a polished chrome stem, with three faceted crystal tiers stacked vertically between a square chrome base and a rectangular black fabric shade. Each E27 socket (bulbs sold separately) sits beneath the shade, casting light downward through the black fabric while the crystal tiers catch and refract ambient light from other sources in the room.

Designed for bedside tables, console tables in hallways, and side tables in living rooms, the Akira provides directed task light rather than room-wide ambient illumination. The 300mm x 300mm footprint fits standard bedside and console surfaces without overhanging, while the 610mm height positions the bottom edge of the shade at approximately 450-500mm above the table surface, keeping light directed toward the reading plane or table top. The lamp is dimmable when paired with compatible E27 LED bulbs and a standard trailing-edge dimmer switch.

The polished chrome stem and base provide reflective surfaces that amplify light in the room, while the black shade absorbs upward spill and focuses output downward. The three crystal tiers are geometric faceted blocks rather than traditional cut-crystal droplets, giving the lamp a more angular contemporary appearance than classical crystal table lamps. The 3.7kg weight provides stability on most table surfaces without needing additional anchoring.

What bulbs does the Akira take?

The lamp has two E27 sockets and accepts standard Edison screw bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for bedside reading or ambient table lighting.

Is the Akira dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E27 LED bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. The lamp itself has no integrated dimmer — dimming is controlled via the mains circuit or a plug-in dimmer module.

How does the black shade affect light output?

The black fabric shade absorbs upward light spill and directs output downward toward the table surface or floor. This creates focused task lighting rather than room-wide ambient light, making the Akira better suited to reading positions and bedside use than general room illumination.

Are the crystal tiers decorative only?

Yes. The three faceted crystal blocks are mounted on the chrome stem and catch light from other sources in the room, but they do not diffuse or redirect light from the bulbs themselves — the bulbs sit inside the shade above the crystals.
