Description
The Estalacta is a 740mm table lamp built around a cylindrical opal white column flanked by a polished silver stem, topped with a black fabric drum shade. Two GU10 bulb fittings sit inside the shade (bulbs sold separately), directing light upward into the black fabric to create diffused ambient glow rather than direct task light.
Designed for console tables, sideboards and bedroom surfaces where ambient rather than reading light is needed, the lamp's 450mm shade diameter and substantial 4.8kg weight give it presence on larger surfaces without overwhelming them. The cylindrical opal white column sits on a circular brushed metal base that provides stability and anchors the vertical composition. The polished silver stem runs parallel to the opal column, creating a dual-column silhouette that reads as architectural rather than traditional.
The black fabric shade contrasts with the white and silver base, absorbing light on its outer surface while allowing the inner glow to escape upward and downward. The opal white column diffuses some light along its length, giving a secondary layer of ambient illumination below the shade line. Dimmable with suitable GU10 dimmable bulbs and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer, the lamp allows adjustment from low background light to brighter settings for evening entertaining.
The Estalacta pairs with monochrome interiors, grey-toned contemporary schemes and spaces where black accent pieces are already present. The polished silver stem picks up reflections from nearby windows or artificial light sources, adding visual movement to the static form. From Mantra, a Spanish lighting brand known for mixing materials and finishes within single fittings.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The Estalacta takes two GU10 bulbs (sold separately). Most users pair it with 4-6W warm-white LED GU10s at 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting. The specification table shows the lamp is dimmable, so choose GU10 dimmable bulbs if you plan to use a dimmer switch.
Is this suitable as a reading lamp?
No. The bulbs sit inside the shade and direct light upward into the fabric, creating diffused ambient glow rather than focused task light. For reading, consider a lamp with an adjustable arm or a shade that directs light downward onto the page.
What surface size does it need?
The circular base has a footprint smaller than the 450mm shade diameter, but the lamp's 740mm height and 4.8kg weight suit console tables, sideboards or bedroom furniture at least 400mm deep to provide stability and proportion. Avoid small side tables or narrow shelves.
Can the opal column be lit separately?
No. The two GU10 bulbs sit in the shade fitting only. The opal column diffuses some of the light that escapes downward from the shade, giving it a secondary glow, but it does not contain a separate light source.
