Description
This table lamp is all about its base: a rounded stoneware body worked all over into crumpled, angular facets and finished in brown with a metallic sheen that catches the light along every fold. Above it sits a wide, tapering linen shade. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which gives a base like this real heft, and the lamp weighs 1.91KG in all, so it sits firmly where you put it. It stands 49cm tall and measures 38cm across at the shade, a generous size that holds its own on a sideboard without towering over it.
We would put it on a sideboard, a hallway console, a living room side table or a roomy bedside cabinet: anywhere a lamp is meant to be looked at as well as switched on. Linen softens the light that passes through it, so this is a lamp for a cosy evening glow rather than a task light for close work. The 180cm cable gives you freedom over where it sits in relation to the socket, and the switch is on the cord, so there is no reaching under the shade to turn it on. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only.
The base is stoneware and the shade is linen, with iron as the third material in the lamp's make-up. It takes an E27 bulb, the standard large screw fitting, at up to 40W, or 5W for an LED or 9W for a CFL. No bulb is included, so pick one up alongside it. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, give it a plain wall behind and a little clear space around it on the table, so the faceted base shows its texture and the wide shade has room to breathe.
