Description
The Centipede is a 640mm table lamp built around a sculptural black metal base with a branching structure that rises from a tripod foot to a single vertical stem. Short horizontal arms project from the stem at staggered intervals, creating a graphic silhouette that resembles stylised limbs. A white conical fabric shade sits at the top, housing a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately).
Designed for side tables, console tables and bedside positions where the lamp provides both task and ambient light, the Centipede works in living rooms, bedrooms and office spaces with contemporary or mid-century furnishings. The 220mm square footprint keeps the base compact enough for narrow console tables or bedside surfaces, while the 640mm height positions the shade at a comfortable level for reading from a seated position. The black metal finish contrasts with the white shade to create defined visual separation between base and light source.
The branching arms on the vertical stem add three-dimensional interest when viewed from different angles, giving the lamp a sculptural presence beyond its lighting function. The white fabric shade diffuses light evenly without harsh glare, making it suitable for ambient lighting or paired with a lower-wattage warm LED for bedside reading. The lamp accepts any standard E27 bulb and is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb, allowing brightness to be adjusted for different times of day.
The tripod base provides stability on flat surfaces without needing additional weight, and the 0.8kg total weight keeps the lamp light enough to reposition easily. The 100-240V voltage range means the lamp works across international mains standards, useful for hospitality projects or international relocations.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take?
The Centipede takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient or bedside lighting.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when used with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch or plug. The lamp itself has no built-in dimmer control — dimming is managed by the bulb and external dimmer.
What surfaces does the tripod base work on?
The 220mm square tripod footprint works on flat surfaces including wooden side tables, glass console tables and bedside units. The base is lightweight at 0.8kg total, so it benefits from being placed on stable surfaces rather than narrow or uneven edges.
Can the shade be replaced?
The white fabric shade is integrated into the lamp design. Replacement shades are not typically stocked separately, but contact us if you need a replacement due to damage — we may be able to source one from Mantra.
