Description
The Brillara is a table lamp built from two contrasting materials: a cylindrical white cement base with an exposed aggregate lower section, topped with a frosted opal glass sphere housing a single G9 bulb. The cement portion stands approximately 180mm tall and 100mm in diameter, with the upper two-thirds finished in smooth white and the lower third left in raw grey aggregate showing the natural texture of the mix. The opal glass globe sits directly on top, creating a continuous vertical form that measures around 270mm in total height.
Designed for bedside tables, console tables and desks where compact ambient lighting is needed, the Brillara suits interiors that pair natural materials with geometric simplicity. The lamp casts soft, diffused light through the opal glass rather than directed task light, so it functions as atmospheric accent lighting or low-level bedroom illumination. The 1100mm cable allows flexibility in placement without requiring an extension lead in most UK room configurations.
The cement base carries visible weight and texture variation typical of cast concrete — small air pockets, tonal shifts and surface irregularities are inherent to the material rather than defects. The white finish on the upper portion is a surface treatment over the cement, while the exposed aggregate section at the base shows the natural grey mix with fine stone inclusions. The opal glass diffuses the G9 bulb completely, preventing glare and creating an even glow across the sphere's surface. The lamp carries an IP20 rating, meaning it's suitable for dry indoor use only.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Brillara take?
The lamp takes a single G9 capsule bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 2W-5W LED G9 in warm white (2700K-3000K) for soft ambient lighting. The G9 fitting is a small push-fit capsule, commonly available in UK lighting and hardware retailers.
Is the cement base fragile?
Cement is a durable material but can chip or crack if dropped on hard surfaces. The base is solid cast rather than hollow, giving it substantial weight and stability on flat surfaces. Handle with care during relocation and avoid dragging across tabletops.
Does the finish vary between lamps?
Yes. Cast cement shows natural variation in surface texture, small air pockets and tonal shifts. The exposed aggregate section at the base will differ slightly between pieces depending on the stone distribution in the mix. This is characteristic of the material.
Can it be used in bathrooms?
No. The IP20 rating means the Brillara is suitable for dry indoor use only and must be kept away from moisture, humidity and water splash zones. It is not rated for bathroom use.
