Description
A table lamp, 35cm wide, in grey. At 35cm wide it is about the width of a laptop.
A cool colour recedes: it makes a piece read as further away and a room as larger, which is why cool tones suit small spaces better than their reputation for coldness suggests. Cast and wrought iron are heavy by nature, and that weight is doing a job: it keeps the piece where it is put rather than shifting every time something brushes past. Iron also holds a hand-worked line that a machine-pressed metal cannot. It arrives complete with its shade, which is not always true at this price.
It takes 1 E27 screw-fit bulb up to 10-12W LED. E27 is the commonest fitting on any supermarket shelf, so replacements are never a hunt. It is not dimmable, which means you choose the warmth at the bulb rather than at the switch: a 2700K bulb will do more here than a dimmer would. The cable is black, with an in-line switch you can reach without groping behind furniture, and a uk 3 pin with 3 amp fuse already fitted. The head adjusts, so you can aim the light at a book rather than a ceiling.
The base is felted, which matters if it is going on a polished or waxed surface. It weighs 0.93kg, which is enough to stay put when the flex is tugged. A GLS shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
The light you actually see is the light that comes THROUGH the shade, not the light from the bulb. That is why the same bulb reads warm behind a cream fabric and cold behind a white one. A pair reads as deliberate rather than repetitive, and at this width two will sit either side of a bed without crowding the table.

Frequently Asked
Does this table lamp come with a shade?
Yes. The shade is included, so there is nothing further to buy to use it.
What bulb does it take?
1 E27 screw-fit bulb, up to 10-12W LED. Bulbs are not included. It is not dimmable, so choose the colour temperature at the bulb: 2700K is the warm end.
Will it mark a polished surface?
No. The base is felted, so it is safe on a waxed or polished top.
How heavy is it?
0.93kg.
What is it made of?
Mango, polyester and polystyrene. The full composition is in the specification table.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Mango varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
