Description
The Centipede is a 640mm white table lamp built around a sculptural base resembling a many-legged insect, with multiple short angled legs radiating from a curved central stem. A white conical fabric shade sits at the top, diffusing light from a single E27 bulb (sold separately). The base is finished in matt white, matching the shade.
Designed for side tables, desks, and nightstands in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices, the Centipede provides ambient task lighting with a sculptural presence. The 220mm square footprint fits standard bedside tables and desk corners without overhanging edges. The multi-leg base distributes weight across the surface, giving stability despite the lamp's light 0.8kg weight.
The white-on-white finish keeps the focus on the form rather than colour contrast, pairing well with minimalist, Scandinavian, and contemporary interiors. The conical shade tapers from approximately 250mm at the base to the bulb fitting at the apex, directing most light downward while allowing a soft glow through the fabric sides. The lamp accepts any E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to the rating shown in the Specification tab below, and is dimmable when paired with compatible bulbs and a suitable dimmer switch.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Centipede take?
The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting on side tables or desks.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. The lamp itself has no built-in dimmer, so both the bulb and the wall/inline dimmer must support dimming.
What surfaces does the 220mm base suit?
The 220mm square footprint fits standard bedside tables (typically 400-500mm wide), desk corners, and console tables without overhanging. The multi-leg base distributes the 0.8kg weight across the surface.
How is the shade cleaned?
The white fabric shade can be dusted with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. For marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays that may discolour the material.
