Description
Cornelie is a tall table lamp built on an enamelled aluminium base in deep blue, finished with a drum shade in woven linen. The base tapers gently from a wide foot to a narrower top, and its outline is shaped in soft rounded lobes that run its full height, so the glossy enamel picks up light along every curve. A slim stem rises from the base to hold the shade. The lamp stands 61cm tall and 30cm across, a size that suits a sideboard, a console or a generous bedside table without crowding it.
At that height the shade sits at a comfortable level beside a sofa or armchair, so it works as a reading lamp in a living room as well as a soft evening light on a hallway console or a study desk. Linen softens the light from a bulb and spreads it gently, and the woven texture of the shade glows when the lamp is lit. The blue gives a room one clear note of colour without a busy pattern, and it sits happily against natural wood and pale walls. The 150cm cable gives you some freedom in placing it near a socket, and the switch on the cord lets you turn it on without reaching under the shade.
The lamp takes an E27 bulb, up to 40W, or an LED of up to 5W or a CFL of up to 9W. Alongside the aluminium and linen, the materials include cotton, PVC, iron and Bakelite. It weighs 2.48KG, so it has some heft on a table. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry rooms only. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For a settled look, stand it on a wooden sideboard beside a short stack of books, and let the blue base be the strongest colour on that surface.
