Description
The Dernessa is a compact table lamp with a round steel base and a slim stem in satin nickel, topped with a grey fabric drum shade. It stands 40cm tall and measures 18cm in diameter, while the round base is 15cm wide, so it settles neatly onto a bedside table, a desk or a narrow console without crowding the surface. It takes an E27 bulb with a maximum of 60W, and the bulb is not included, so you can choose the brightness and colour of light that suit the room. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in dry rooms, well away from bathrooms and steamy kitchens.
We like it most beside a bed, where the fabric shade turns the bulb into a gentle, even glow for reading at night, and it works as well in a pair either side of a sofa or a double bed. The grey shade and satin nickel finish are neutral enough to sit happily with warm woods, white walls or darker painted rooms, so it suits a guest bedroom, a home office or a hallway table equally well. Because the switch sits on the cord, you can turn the lamp on without reaching beneath the shade.
The base and stem are steel with a satin nickel finish, which gives a soft sheen rather than a mirror shine, and the drum shade is grey fabric with a pale inner lining. Small feet under the base lift it slightly clear of the table top. The lamp runs at 220-240V, 50/60Hz and weighs 1.25KG packed, so it is easy to move from room to room. A soft, dry cloth is all the base needs, and a gentle brush keeps dust out of the weave of the shade. The installation instructions come as a download, and they are worth a quick read before you fit your first bulb.
