Balise Cylinder Ribbed Glass Lantern Table Lamp - Matt White

The Balise is a compact cylindrical table lamp built like a little lantern. A matt white iron cap and base hold a ribbed blown glass screen between them, and the single light sits within that clear, fluted band, so the glow shows through in fine vertical lines. It takes one GX53 lamp. It comes in two sizes: the Small is 16cm tall and 11cm across, standing on a 9cm base, and the Medium is 19.5cm tall and 13.5cm across, standing on an 11cm base. Choose by the space you have to give it.

Because it is so compact, the Balise suits places where a larger lamp would crowd the surface: a bedside table, a narrow hallway console, a bookshelf or the corner of a desk in a study. On a living room side table or a dining room sideboard it brings a lantern glow down to table height. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. Its control is a simple on-off switch rather than a dimmer, which makes it an easy lamp to leave on through the evening and turn off at bedtime. We think it suits anyone who likes modern pieces with a softer edge.

The structure is iron, finished in matt white, with the blown glass screen set between the cap and the base; the ribbed glass is what gives the cylinder its lantern character. It runs at 220-240V and has a 2m cable, which gives you room to reach a socket from a bedside or sideboard. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, we like a pair of Small lamps either side of a bed, or a single Medium on a console beside a stack of books; the matt white sits quietly against pale walls and warm wood alike.
