Description
The Apollo is an 870mm table lamp built around a geometric brushed brass frame that holds white marble inserts at the top and bottom of the base. A navy blue faux suede hexagonal shade sits on top, lined internally with gold faux silk that reflects warm light back into the room when the lamp is switched on. The lamp takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately).
Designed for side tables, console tables and bedroom nightstands, the Apollo provides ambient and decorative light rather than focused task lighting. The 340mm hexagonal shade gives a wider light spread than a cylindrical shade of similar height, making the lamp suited to living rooms and bedrooms where it can light a reading chair or bedside without needing to be directly overhead. The 275mm x 240mm base footprint gives stability on most surfaces without dominating narrow consoles.
The brushed brass frame softens reflections under daylight and picks up warm tones from the gold silk lining when the lamp is lit. The white marble inserts at top and bottom of the base add weight and contrast against the brass, grounding the geometric frame. The navy blue faux suede shade sits between the deep blues used in traditional interiors and the lighter indigo-grey shades used in coastal schemes, making it adaptable to both contemporary and transitional rooms.
The gold silk lining inside the shade is visible from above and reflects a warm glow when the bulb is lit, turning the shade itself into a diffuser. This creates a softer ambient light than a white-lined shade would produce, reducing glare when the lamp is used next to a sofa or armchair for evening reading.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Apollo take?
The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K to complement the gold silk lining and brushed brass finish.
What size table does it suit?
The 275mm x 240mm base footprint suits console tables from 300mm depth upwards, side tables from 400mm square, and nightstands from 450mm width. The 870mm overall height works on standard side tables (400-500mm high) next to sofas or beds without the shade sitting too close to eye level when seated.
Is the shade removable for cleaning?
Yes. The hexagonal shade lifts off the lamp base for dusting. The faux suede exterior can be cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum attachment on low power. Avoid getting the suede wet — spot-clean only if necessary.
What effect does the gold lining create?
The gold faux silk lining reflects warm light back into the room when the bulb is lit, creating a softer, warmer ambient glow than a white-lined shade would produce. This reduces glare and makes the lamp more comfortable for reading or relaxing next to in the evening.
