Gin 1 Light Large Table Lamp - Gold

The Gin is a 500mm table lamp built around a cylindrical smoked glass shade sitting on a gold-finished base with a black stem. A single GU10 fitting inside the glass diffuses light through the tinted cylinder, creating a softer ambient spread rather than a focused task beam. The lamp weighs 5kg, giving it a solid presence on a sideboard or console without needing additional anchoring.

Designed for use on credenzas, nightstands, dining sideboards and console tables in living rooms and bedrooms, the Gin provides background light rather than primary illumination. The smoked glass reduces glare from the exposed GU10 bulb while the 320mm diameter shade gives enough spread to light a 1-2m radius around the lamp base. The gold base reflects warmth from the bulb when lit, adding a subtle glow to the area immediately around the lamp.

The gold finish on the base contrasts with the matt black central stem and the dark tonal quality of the smoked glass, keeping the overall appearance from being too warm-toned. This makes the lamp compatible with both warm neutrals (beiges, creams, taupes) and cooler palettes (greys, charcoals). The lamp is dimmable when paired with a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Standard GU10 bulbs are sold separately and typical wattages range from 4W to 7W LED equivalents.

The Gin is part of a wider range that includes pendant versions and smaller table lamps in the same smoked glass and gold finish, allowing coordinated lighting across multiple rooms or within a single space where layered ambient lighting is needed.

What bulb does the Gin take?

The lamp takes a single GU10 bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 4-7W LED GU10 in 2700K or 3000K warm white. The smoked glass diffuses the light, so higher lumen outputs (400-500lm) work well without causing glare.

Is the Gin dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable GU10 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. Non-dimmable GU10 bulbs will not dim and may flicker or fail if used with a dimmer.

What surface does the Gin suit?

The 5kg weight and circular base suit solid surfaces like wooden sideboards, marble console tables and MDF nightstands. The base diameter is approximately 150mm, so ensure the surface has clearance around the lamp for the 320mm shade width.

How is the smoked glass cleaned?

Wipe the glass shade with a dry microfibre cloth when the lamp is switched off and cool. For fingerprints or smudges, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works, but avoid soaking the electrical components at the base or using glass cleaners with ammonia near the metal fittings.
